Fox News is alarmed that
people take up liberal views in the course of graduating from college. They assume this is because of some liberal professor conspiracy rather than comprehending that the added knowledge might be the liberalizing force at play.
That's one thing I've always hated, is how people say that colleges are brainwashing people. I went to college and learned a lot, and that changed who I am and how I think. I don't think it was a professor who was brainwashing me, but rather the intense addition of knowledge that I didn't have previously.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Honestly, my college experience did include a very conservative professor or two. The alternative is to avoid college and cry on TV daily like Glenn Beck. I don't think professors are part of some old-boy liberal club conspiracy so much as a liberal mindset might just more often be associated with a desire to educate and do research.
