Exactly ... I think you see my point ... secondary education, to many of those who teach and manage these institutions, is no longer about the basics of education. Liberals have considered the collegiate system as the rightful and accepted domain of political activism. (However, when that activism does not match with their thoughts or theories then it is not acceptable. Note that you do not see sponsored activities by the Nazi Youth on college campuses.) If you look at their rhetoric what they are defending is their right to teach in an activist manner. If we begin to clamp down on academic activism then student populations may return to a pre-60's paradigm of conservatism since they will not be guided along the academic path by activist liberals.

To a liberal educator a podium is akin to a pulpit .. and from it they preach idealogy as fact...

This is just one more skeleton that was exposed when those planes blew the doors off our national closet.
