In a shift from a mere couple of years ago, when a majority of Republican-Americans thought that higher education was a good thing, the majority of them now believe the opposite.
A Pew Research Center survey published Monday revealed voters have grown apart in their support of secondary education since the 2016 presidential election season, when a majority of Democratic and Republican Americans agreed the nation’s universities serve as a benefit for the U.S. Whereas 54 percent of Republicans said "colleges and universities had a positive impact on the way things were going in the country" in 2015, the majority now believe the opposite, with 58 percent saying such institutions negatively impact the state of the union.

I tried to find that word which I've never read before in a dictionary, and it wasn't there. Was it a misspelling of orthodox, like you misspelled "surely"? Misusing homophones is a sign of someone who never or seldom reads books.
It reminds me of an MIT paper someone at slashdot sent me to, about "2001: A Space Odyssey". Long article without once using the word "who", always substituting it with "whom" no matter which word made the sentence grammatically correct. It was actually a good article, despite that ignorant, pretentious move.

To whom word do you refer, McGrew? If it was "orthodoxia", you need a Greek dictionary, and you need to un-latinize it. ορθοδοξία. Mis-use of homophones (there is a proper use?) is a sign that someone has grown frustrated with the general level of functional illiteracy in the world.

I speak only English, Spanish, and a little Thai. Use the English word unless you're in Greece.

I _am_ in Greece. OK, we will call it Latin. Sorry about your lack of literacy.
