The implied syllogism that "most teachers are smart, caring Democrats" doesn't surprise or threaten me at all...

if you read the link, you’ll see that whether a teacher is intellectual or caring is not what the issue is about. it’s about the fact that liberal bias runs rampant on the majority of college campuses, and a good portion of students are getting a biased education.
professors have a responsibility to be fair and objective when doing their jobs, but these professors have no shame about using the classroom podium for political speechmaking..trying to indoctrinate students with a liberal ideology. the radical leftists have re-defined the mission of universities. instead of the pursuit of knowledge and truth, universities today see themselves as agencies for social change..that is not education, that is indoctrination.
political correctness thrives on college campuses, and this is why colleges have a "reputation" as being bastions of liberalism. that, and tenured liberal professors who cannot be removed.
ramona, i don’t feel that what "you have to say" is a waste of time....it’s the derisive and mocking way "you say it." your last post was neither derisive nor mocking. i read it all.

If you can't stick to the thread's subject then start a new one

this threads topic is titled “College for the Home-Schooled Is Shaping Leaders for the Right”, pointing criticism at patrick henry college. since then there have been views criticizing colleges that shape people for the left.
imo, it seems we’re still on topic.

higher education is already dead because conservatives cannot get hired at publically funded universities in other than token numbers. The tokens do not advance, get published or get advanced in any degree comparable to their Liberal counterparts.
Noam Chomsky, for instance, is a brilliant linguist but a political moron. His views are widely known and published. Walter Williams, on the other hand, is absolutety brilliant on the topics where he does the most publishing-- and largely unknown outside the conservative press.
