I finally gave up on the whole deal. I had a 4.0 GPA without really trying that hard (except in math) and I finally just got fed up. I couldn't eat that much ####.
I came back in after a stint in the Marine Corps as an adult, and I couldn't believe what they were feeding the kids. If I spoke up for politically-neutral intellectual integrity- not even for Conservatism, but for neutrality- a ring of nitwits would physically form around me and shout me down.
I ended up taking a lot of hard science classes, and thoroughly enjoying them. I wouldn't even take the "social issues" crap that was required for graduation. I was supposed to take a class called 'mass communications', that was taught by some African immigrant with a hard-n for the United States. I walked out in the middle of his lecture, right in front of him, and dropped the class.
Rome is falling, make no mistake, and it's all thanks to these fools.

Girls, Pearls, and Indoctrination Machines by Erin McGlinchey
http://www.iwf.org/campus/smith/smithJanuary2000b.shtmlI think the solution lies in abandoning liberal universities. Their tuitions are already over-priced and if they were left altogether they would have to sky-rocket or close down. We have to ask ourselves if Harvard shutting down could be considered a loss. I don't think so.
No one can convince me that a degree from these schools hold the same prestige that they used to. We conservatives will just have to take it upon ourselves to build new colleges and universities to pick up the task of furthering education in our country. What about all those conservative professors who can't get hired at leftist schools? They should band together and start their own with high standards that would quickly make it clear to employers that they would rather hire those students at graduation time.
As a graduate of a small midwestern college which took me twentyfive years to matriculate through, I can strongly assent to the assertion that most college profs are libs. They're not all bad or obnoxious, and many are quite good teachers. But liberal they are, and too many go over the line. I should add that a goodly number are actually Marxists. Not a few of my ex-profs defended Castro and one old history prof of mine praised Stalin. It's a fact of college life, and conservative students will just have to adjust because it's not going to change anytime soon.
Growing up in the South(graduated HS in '72) it was taken for granted that teachers were supposed to teach you HOW to think not WHAT to think. Unfortunately today my children (unbekownst to me until it was too late) were taught early on that hunting was evil. Now I have a son I would like to take hunting with me, but he has been brainwashed that hunting is bad. By the way one of these liberal nitwits left my child behind-by mistake- on a out-of-state field trip. Wasn't smart enough to do a headcount.
I could go on and on. What's the use?
maybe youth looking at colleges should really think about what they want and what kind of faculty their gonna get. If there up for the challenge have at it. If not, find a school thats gonna fit theirs ideas. Having professors that you like is important.
