University of "The Left"

"Unlike professors in the past, moreover, many contemporary teachers believe it is their duty to incorporate their political views into classroom instruction. Thus students at leading colleges report that they are subjected to a steady drumbeat of political propaganda in their courses in the humanities and social sciences." - From a article by James Pierson, found in the current issue of The Weekly Standard

I find this disturbing, even though I know it to be true...

I know for a fact that when in high school teachers CANNOT talk about such stances in class, because the reasoning there is that the minds of the young padawans are so fertile and moldable that if a teacher were to interject their opnion into something, a student might take that as fact and thus the teacher would mold the thinking of the student...

Which brings me to college - is there supposed to be some magical difference there? What makes some professor think that they can suddenly change the playing field just because someone is a year older? Who says the student had the mental faculties to be able to critically think for themselves? I know that most who went to school with me don't have that, because most of them didn't care to invest the time to refine that skill. In my estimation students don't exasctly have that ability forstered yet, because alot of that comes in how one was raised and if it wasn't emphasized at home, then chances are less that it exists by the time freshmen year comes around...

I think that the professors are aware of this and seek to capitalize on it, so that there are mre young people out there that ascrible to the left leaning teaching and information that comes out of a majority of institutions in America today...
