Higher education breeds the thinkers that drive popular opinion -- the thought leaders and intellectual elites. The State bestows special privilege to intellectuals in government and handles academia with kid gloves. That special treatment lasts as long as academia continues to churn out elites who magnify the State in their writings and policy recommendations. Dissenting voices are dutifully dismissed and compromised in the halls of academia's upper echelons.
