ALL, I repeat, ALL of my eldest son's professors, are raving liberals who bring their bias into the classroom.

This semester, all of mine are, too. My Constitutional law professor is farther to the left then Howard Dean. He never fails to spend at least half of the class time bashing conservative thought, especially as it relates to the Constitution. Strict constructionists are his worst enemy. He calls Justice Scalia every name in the book, and he does it every class.

Horowitz's solution at least attempts to address that problem, absent SOME kind of change, education will continue to deteriorate into brainwashing.....NOT education.

True. I'm not denying the problem, and I'm not denying that the education system needs change. However, I do not think that involving the government in universities (especially private universities) is the proper solution. I don't want the government choosing my professors.

Funny, I remember my own Con Law prof. He was a proud liberal, as most of them are, but we got off on a tangent about Scalia one day. His take on the good judge was that, as an unabashed liberal, he disagreed with virtually everything that Scalia stood for. However, as an honest unabashed liberal, he couldn't help but admit that Justice Scalia was also one of the most brilliant legal minds to ever sit on the Supreme Court.

That's what you need, and what I don't mind - honest and forthright liberal professors ;)
