I get this.
I now NEVER discuss politics with any of them... it’s like trying to kill an ant with a bowling ball!!
When people don’t employ logic in their thinking... it’s impossible to discuss this kind of thing with them.
In the 2008 Presidential race, we actually had professors running around here with ‘Obama’ T shirts on!!
Really??
In a school, it’s the professor’s duty to explain how the system works, and to present all the information (good and bad/agree or disagree). As a matter of fact, instructors would be remiss if they DIDN’T explain how our system works and all the pertinent facts.
HOWEVER, once they go on to say: “Oh by the way-Here’s how I am going to vote!”....they just stepped over the line... They are no longer teaching! NOW it’s propaganda!
It’s natural for students and young people to look up to professors and teachers because it’s how students’ respect for authority and willingness to listen and learn actually WORKS.
If adults abuse their position AS instructors….if they take the most unfair advantage of their status, then they are no longer teaching…. they become PROPAGANDISTS!! And they are the most dishonorable, crude and irresponsible kind pf propagandists-influencing young, inexperienced and uninformed people!
Liberals do not GET this!!
I totally agree. Many teachers never present alternative opinions to their students. The poor kids hear the same mantra from Kindergarten to their PhD. No wonder they are so completely brainwashed.
