I think perhaps the grandparent commentator MUST be referencing the right-wing founding of alternative universities due to their anger that their worldview doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Surely they aren't supporting the notion that universities are commie monocultures.
I don't think that's true. The quote says "Republicans registered concern about politics in higher education" and then the post says "I think both parties are right" and then describes "a campaign of political and social indoctrination, and censorship of contrarian views" in parallel construction to the left concern that the "cost of a university education has skyrocketed."
This very clearly talking about conservatives being concerned about left wing political indoctrination on campus. I think that this is blown wildly out of proportion.
