According to the ANES survey conducted by the University of Michigan. The
ANES is not interested in either political party, they are just trying to
track long term political trends. I am using this source just because they
have conducted extensive surveys to try to understand US politics.

About 36% of Republicans graduated from college while about 28% and 23% of
Independents and Democrats, respectively, graduated from college. About 59%
of Republicans made over $35,000 a year while only 50% and 35% of
Independents and Democrats, respectively, made over $35,000 a year.

Again, the ANES is not interested in either political party, they are just
trying to track long term political trends.

From the Diane Divers Blair Center for the Study of Southern Politics and
Society, which does not support either party and is only interested in
studying Southern Politics.

"Adherents to the two parties in Arkansas had different levels of education,
with the Republicans being more educated. Roughly, 23% of the Democrats and
21% of Independents possessed a college degree; 39% of Republicans had
graduated from college."

"The state's Republicans are also wealthier than their Democratic and
Independent counterparts. Almost half (47%) of the Republicans surveyed
stated they had a household income of over $35,000, while 37% of
Independents and just under a third (31%) of the Democrats had incomes over
$35,000."

These two college studies do not endorse either party, but are only
interested in tracking the demographics as it relates to US voters.

It is consistently shown that Republicans have a higher education level
than Democrats

No, actually it hasn't. It has been consistently asserted... by you.

Considering that most of the right wingers making public statements on the
issue consider that college campusses are the last bastion of communism, I
fail to see much support to your claim.

Obviously, it was only obvious to me.

I suggest you stop listening to the voices from your toaster.
