Rick Santorum’s been criticizing colleges – and President Obama’s push to increase college attendance – for a while now. He’s attacked the push for widened access to college education as smacking of “snobbery,” and has unfavorably cited statistics that he claims show 62 percent of young adults who enter college with religious beliefs leave without them.
However, he kicked things up a level during a recent interview with Glenn Beck. He told the right-wing talk show host that President Obama’s push for expanding college-going could hurt America:
“I understand why Barack Obama wants to send every kid to college, because of their indoctrination mills, absolutely … The indoctrination that is going on at the university level is a harm to our country.”
