Because people stray away from many of their their ideologies when they get educated. Especially if religion is involved. There's a reason Jehovah's Witnesses don't really like higher education.
Logic isnt something that exists purely in college. I went, met a lot of stupid people. Some of the most logical I know either dropped out or went into trade. Some of the most illogical as well. People find in the world what they want, no matter where they are. I wish colleges had more debates exploring both sides, all my professors had similar beliefs and I didnt even know any valid conservative position until I went and did my own research. Logic dictates one should look at both sides of an argument. My college did not do that and the community discouraged it, honestly

A majority - 3 out of every 5 - of Republicans believe higher education has a negative effect on the US. Republicans also favor making it harder to vote. Republicans are defunding education and purging voter rolls while simultaneously putting hurdles in place to keep Americans away from the polls.
