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.
I don’t know the circumstance of your university. There are obviously some good professors out there, and you seem like you would be one of them. We’ve agreed on a number of issues.
As a general rule, I think kids should be exposed to conservatism on an equal footing with socialism/communism. Of course I’d refer no socialism/communism, but I am willing to let conservatism stand on it’s own, as long as it is presented to be as valid an ideology has the others.
80 to 90% leftist professors? That isn’t right. We shouldn’t allow that. Salespeople will tell you that you have to make calls to get sales. I think that concept is as valid on a university campus as it is in the car dealership. You don’t sell something unless it’s presented in the best light possible.
If we don’t demand that conservatism be taught on an equal basis with the other ideologies, then it will not sell as frequently as it should.
If you had top of the line Mazerattis on sale for $25,000, how many would you sell if the showroom was in a out of the way place in the city with the door locked and the windows covered?
Conservatism is all too often relagated to the out of the way places, with the doors locked and the windows covered.
Our politicians are not selling it. It’s not being allowed to compete on our university campuses. It’s begining to show in our societal attitudes and political choices.
