I do think students are more resilient that we think, but we need to be aware that this projected model isn't a reality we can afford to embrace. First of all, it isn't really true, and our universities MUST be opened up to a reasoned approximation of the populace at large with regard to political outlook. Allowing 90% of the staff at these universities to be whacked out leftists is just insane.

Let's take a look at just one well known case.

Hillary Rhodam was a Goldwater supporter during her high school years. It was during this period that she was taken under the wing of a leftist religious figure and turned to the dark side. She kept in contact with this individual for decades.

Look at the makeup of our University campuses today. Conservatives can't even voice their opinions on many of them. Student or university pool funds are used to bring in leftist speakers almost exclusively on many campuses.

I think this article is shilling for the left. It sure doesn't address the reality we have seen over the years.

As a professor, I don't see obvious successful indoctrination by my colleagues---of course, as Rush says, I AM balance here! However, this completely contradicts earlier studies that showed marked changes leftward by students over a four year period.

Certainly when it comes to religion, the data shows that kids are far less likely to be religious when they leave college than when they arrive.
