Like someone is out to impose a Fairness Doctrine on college professors?


All the students want is to be treated fair themselves!

Students aren't treated fairly, some are treated like idiots, thats why you have professors and you don't pick up your textbooks, read a few chapters, and take a final

What's next, all college kids have to get an A? Whenever the professor proposes a question all 90-150+ students have to be able to reply?

If the students want everything in life to be 100% fair all around they should join a communist organization

There are also tons of kids who dropped out of high school, never went to any real institution of learning, and almost always end up liberal in their late teens and early 20s...its a popular time to be liberal or libertarian regardless of where you choose to go to school

and to repeat myself: the trailer is horrible and stupid

I think if you have conservative parents you're more likely to be conservative, but that has to do with the religious indoctrination and stuff. There is still a huge slant towards liberals in the highschool/college life regardless of parental beliefs. That doesn't explain it all. College students are trained to be idealists and the people training them to be so are liberals.

Most public universities in America are liberal indoctrination stations. The views of most professors are highly liberal and the students often share the views of their teachers and other major influences. When you're in college your biggest influences are liberal professors, liberal media, etc. It's convenient and idealist.

So you're saying adults old enough to vote and go die in Iraq are too dumb to form their own opinions? That classes revolve around shaping a students opinion instead of teaching them about chemistry, math, aristotle, kant, reconstruction, shakespeare, the hagia sophia?

Yeah I'm not buying that

What I'm saying is political ideologies are a product of our environment. As you have said as well by saying parents are also correlated. Are you also saying adults old enough to go die in Iraq are too dumb to form their own opinions because they take after their parents' views? Don't try to pull that ridiculous card here, I'm not the one who said Kerry spoke the truth with his botched joke. It's completely unrelated and has no point as you can see.

You don't have to buy anything. I'm not trying to sell anything. We can either take the reality that people tend to form similar opinions of their cognitive influences or we can ignore it. Doesn't matter to me either way, but it is human nature and a we even have a whole section of science devoted to it which we call psychology.

Universities are liberal-socialist indoctrination stations because they try and produce well rounded students as much as sports are fascist indoctrination stations because they support group violence, destruction of the "other" and strict rules

but please, continue to equally weigh raising a child for 18 years into an adult to an adult taking a 3 hour course once a week for less than 4 months

If you would like to debate the internal and external influences on cognitive development feel free to make another thread about it and debate me.

Your analogy shows you have little understanding of the issue and it might make for an educational debate.

Yeah, if I want an education from Bob Jones University, I'll go there, I don't need a middle-man

I'm so angry I'm going to write the head of the psychology department I was under several years ago and complain that during cognitive development they never covered that our physics professors were politically indoctrinating us

Of course liberals never admit their intolerance of conservatives.
