Its funny how two people can read the same thing and get totally different meanings from it!
I've only read the piece you've quoted, but to me he is praising the fact that people are exposed to different opinions and encouraged to think for themselves while at college. That doesn't seem like a bad thing to me. Its good to have one's opinions and values questioned. When they're questioned, you're forced to defend them, which encourages you to think critically about both them and opposing opinions. There's nothing wrong with that.

No doubt there is some truth to that, but several places that seem quite revealing. For instance when he says, 'They will base their actions on what they know to be true, rather than on what they wish to be true.' To me this is a very humanists outlook of someone that has no faith. Also the part about where he discusses how it is difficult to talk to your family and friends after completed college education, makes his idea of college more of a cultist indoctronation than an education.
