The debate rages in academia and it's about time that a liberal education does NOT mean an indoctrination into liberalism's values and politics.
"Many teachers insist personal politics don't affect teaching. But in a recent survey of students at 50 top schools by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, a group that has argued there is too little intellectual diversity on campuses, 49 percent reported at least some professors frequently commented on politics in class even if it was outside the subject matter.
Thirty-one percent said they felt there were some courses in which they needed to agree with a professor's political or social views to get a good grade."
This is not good news. The most telling fact is that Harvard and the California college system faculty and employees gave more $ to Kerry's campaign than any other employer in the country. A politically balanced higher education community would have shown different results.
