My nieces and nephews relate stories all the time about the kowtowing they have to do to their leftist professors - no matter what the subject matter is supposed to be. Since they have heard alternative views in their own families they are aware of the slant, and the ‘liberties’ taken by their professors. Unfortunately, too many children have not been exposed at all to other than leftist views.
Starting in pre-school children are being encouraged to believe that their parents are uninformed and it is up to the child to ‘educate’ the parent.
I work at a major university, though not as a professor. (Far from it. I'm a lowly IT guy.) It breaks my heart that those causing all the kowtowing are therefore the very ones stifling true critical thinking, the free exchange of ideas, and darn near everything else that higher education purports to provide.

Which is more than just heartbreaking, is it not? It's downright chilling. I wonder how long it will be until the children are encouraged not to educate their "uninformed" parents, but to turn in them in?
