My daughter's Psych professor (UT Arlington) referenced this article in class this week.

Absolutely not. A strong character and upbringing are the key factors. Conservatism is rooted in common sense, and anyone weak enough to be swayed by liberal ideas is someone that lacks the right tools to know right from wrong.

Saying college makes one liberal is like saying having a job makes one conservative.

“Conservatives on campus feel outnumbered, given that about 60 percent of faculty identify as politically liberal.”

That’s BS. For every point it’s below 98%, I’ll eat a Stetson hat.

Unless you’re going to become a doctor, engineer, or lawyer, college is a waste of money. You can educate yourself for very little money.

I recommend most dudes should learn a trade. Lineman is number one to me.

The article completely ignores *what* is taught.

There are a great deal of false assumptions about reality that are taught in Universities.

Its sometimes overt, but often times its just the social milieu - and it occurs by osmosis.

Hell, just living in Washington DC turns you leftist. You can’t avoid it.

College is a wrap up for the indoctrination that began watching PBS.

“Critical Theory was essentially destructive criticism of the main elements of Western culture, including Christianity, capitalism, authority, the family, patriarchy, hierarchy, morality, tradition, sexual restraint, loyalty, patriotism, nationalism, heredity, ethnocentrism, convention and conservatism.”

http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=552

“And, a new Dark Age is exactly what we are in. In such situations, the record of history is unequivocal: either we create a Renaissance—a rebirth of the fundamental principles upon which civilization originated—or, our civilization dies.”

Being that it’s not been all that long since I graduated my last degree (December 2007), I can say that, especially if you’re a white (or appear to be white) male, or worse yet, a Jew, at least APPEARING to be extremely liberal is an essential survival tactic.

Only 60% of college professors are liberal??? For that to be true, the other 40% must be outright Marxists.

I don’t think college does turn people into liberals. Cities might. My children go and listen to the silly professors rant about things and then they laugh at them. If there are people less cool than your parents, its college professors and high school teachers.

Conservative activists have claimed that universities brainwash students and indoctrinate them into believing a liberal ideology.


There is no doubt that is the intent.

The article would indicate they are not as successful as they would like to think.

It certainly gives its best effort...and is,more often than not,successful.Just consider that the most respected,esteemed,educator today (among his fellow educators,at least) is one William Ayers...of the 9/11/01 (early edition) of the New York Times fame.

...as well as,of course,of "guilty as hell,free as a bird" fame.

By the time I went to grad school, I was a conservative.

A liberal education with sound critical and reasoning skills, the hallmark of the human mind.

Shallow and rote thinking are reserved for ignorant people and deluded fanatics.

When you question the world and conventional wisdom, do you become a more enlightened and sober person.

No, a college education doesn’t turn all of us into liberals.

My great dad told me way back when that the profs would try to turn my head.

I was rebellious, thought he was hopelessly entrenched, and I went off and had my head turned, emptied out and stuffed with nonsense.

When I got out on my own, I voted for the unifier Clinton-—George Senior seemed a gilded dandy-—and in his first speech Clinton blamed whitey for all the ills of everything.

I was wrong, my dad was right, and he lived another three decades with a fellow right-winger in the family.

He never once yanked my chain about my having strayed.

No liberal professors give all their paychecks away to the government or the poor. In fact most make 6 digit salaries and live in million dollar homes.......

No. The students have already been indoctrinated in Marxism in grades K-12.
