"Around this time of year, I sometimes hear from parents who have been appalled to learn that the child they sent away to college to become educated has instead been indoctrinated with the creed of the left. They often ask if I can suggest something to have their offspring read over the summer, in order to counteract this indoctrination."

This is so much nonsense... colleges don't indoctrinate people to the left, that's pure BS.

My wife and I both work in and around University level education for over a decade. The fact is many kids come to college with young, idealist thinking about how the world should work.

Yes, many professors are left leaning, and many are independent, and I know several that are die hard Republicans.

Anytime someone can get film of a Professor showing his liberalism, its assumed that they are all that way, its just nonsense.

Its the kids that are idealistic, it always has been the kids, and it doesn't matter which country they are students in, they tend to be liberal thinking.Even the Hard Republican Business students can be more liberal than most republicans.

The GOP always push's to hate Education, yet many GOP politician's have several degrees:

Mitt Romney has 2 degrees from Harvard
George HW Bush - Yale
George Bush - Yale and Harvard
Ron Paul - Duke
Rick Santorum - Penn State, Uni of Pittsburgh
Dr. Newt Gingrich - Emory (BA, MA) Tulane U. (PhD)
Kay Bailey Hutchison - University of Texas
Paul Ryan - Miami University (Ohio)
Rick Perry - Texas A&M
John Boehner - Xavier University
Sam Johnson - Southern Methodist University
Ralph Hall - Texas Christian University, University of Texas, and Southern Methodist University


Don't get suckered in by the Liberal University indoctrination theory and scam, if it were true there would be no Republicans.



I would agree with you that kids do seem to have a more liberal leaning than their parents. Where I think the problems begin is just how far, either left, right, or center, the kids choose to take the path of. Any decent human being would have an open enough mind to see all possible sides to any story, situation, or political or religious ideology. Are some or most professors' motives to persuade his/her audience to lean toward their mindset or merely present another view? It's been a while since I've been in a college classroom. Times have changed, and people may have too.

As for the GOP hating education, I'm not so sure I'd take it that far. Perhaps once they realized what they were taught and learned, compare it to what's going on these days, they probably see some flaws somewhere in the process. Many people do, regardless of degree level and where it was attained.

On another note, somewhat off topic: the best way to figure out which candidate stands for what is to dive deep into reasearching their voting record, and from there dig even deeper on what it is they either voted for or against. I think many of us are guilty of knee-jerk reactions when we hear something. Only until we actually research for ourselves will we continue to look like unintelligent beings, regardless of which of the 3 sides of the aisle one stands on...
