You have a right to your opinion on anything I say or write for what it is worth and to me it is worthless. Yes there is a professional wealth of evidence for this and these are schools in the United States keep to your own neck of the woods in advices.

A difficult truth

Hang on a second. University professors in any country generally require people to THINK. It's fairly hard to do that and be right-wing at the same time.

Also, do you have any evidence to support your claims of academic bias - or is this just another rant?

nah, i don't want anything on a silver platter, but i sure wish i could get health insurance for my self and my husband for less than $1000. a month. its going to break me and then i'll have none. And no I don't think some college student should have to echo the sentiments of a Professor to get a good grade!

Freedom of opinion
should be first and foremost on the agenda at universities and colleges. Teachers should not be teaching students just facts or their personal opinions, but rather presenting the facts and teaching the students to think and come up with their own opinions.

Personally I feel a large amount of the professors should not even be teaching. It may sound harsh, but some of the crap they teach is harmful...There are students who actually believe what these guys are saying and it molds them for years to come. Very scary!

Actually it is so stupid. When the educators call white - black or right - wrong while benefiting from the opposite way one can justifiably call that totally crazy and evil. Thank you for your comment.

Bravo!

People really don't know what's going on in academia. I think it's ironic that the self-help movement known for making boosting self-esteem top priority is the same group of people pushing the 'we're evil' agenda. Colleges think that being self-deprecating is a sign of being highly evolved. Essentially, we've got a system that builds millionaires who turn around and teach that the system that made them isn't any good.
