Now, what does this really mean? Are colleges, whose professors are tenured, annoyed that the intellectual num-nuts they receive are too under-educated to understand the indoctrination they are receiving?

No. It means that students graduating high schools are functionally illiterate and can't place into ENG-101 and so mathematically challenged they can't place into a simple college algebra course. Without a basic knowledge of readin', writin', and 'rithemtic they can't succeed in any of the other courses.

By the way, not all college professors are liberal wingnuts.

Especially the geologists :-), though we do need to take a stick to the environmental scientists that get spawned in the fires of our creation...

(Where I went to school, if you couldn't hack the math and physics, folks dropped from a Geology BS down to an "Environmental Sciences" BA).

It is a good fight, thanks, but 90-95% of college professors are indeed liberal wingnuts.
