Those are much more fun than kneeling down and saying "I'm sorry".
It isn't the colleges' fault that the vast majority of people intelligent enough to teach in college are liberals, or, at least moderates. It also isn't their faule that the vast majority of rightists are STUPID.
PEACE!

(15,382 posts)For the most part, I felt professors in both my majors and out just taught the curriculum. I do remember a biology teacher talking about how much he admired Rush Limbaugh. I just tuned him out. One of my majors was Spanish, and I was good friends with a conservative guy with the same major, and he tried to engage a professor in a discussion of Rush, and the professor smiled and politely shut down the line of conversation so he could get on with the lesson. Another major was math, and while there was some political talk in the department around election time, it never spilled over into the classroom.
I get the feeling that this is like the, "political persecution," they constantly suffer from but when properly translated it just means that they're not allowed to foist their opinions off on others whenever they want to. Indoctrination into liberalism just means that going to chapel twice a day is no longer part of a day of a student at a normal university.

(533 posts)has he always been this much of a fucking loon, or has fame gone to his baby shaped head?
(that sounded weird...I don't think Santorum has a head that is shaped like a baby, rather he has a head that is shaped like a baby's head...)

(36,263 posts)Colleges don't have an active goal of deprogramming those raised with religious brainwashing; deprogamming most often emerges from the gradual accretion of an informed worldview. For many people, college is the only place that's likely to happen.

"Indoctrination." Use of that term shows that Santorum believes that other people's minds can be controlled. He just wants to be the one doing it.

(1,734 posts)Santorum is objecting to education because it makes one less prone to believing in childish god stories. Once you learn how to reason, it's impossible to believe in bronze age myths.
