On his Fox News Channel program Monday night, Tucker Carlson proposed a radical idea that conservatives should embrace: Make the higher education establishment help pay off the student loan burdens of the Americans who were talked into taking out this debt.

His logic is more sound than it appears at first blush: It was higher education that told these people they needed to go into debt in order to achieve the American dream, and it’s been college diversity officers and campus Marxists who have directly benefited from the inflow of cash. The resulting debt is making Generation Z and millennials socialists.
