How can you actually claim this "the public university environment is radical in its leftward slant"

when in the EXACT SAME POST you claim otherwise???

It seems to me if both sides were balanced then it was not a "radical left" stance that you were taught.

I like you skin, but sometimes you follow the piper to much, your own experience is not the college is a radical leftist environment, but that you were actually taught the other side.

If college was actually as your straw man argument is, then you would NEVER have been exposed to the otherside of the Roe V Wade coin.

In fact universities purposely encourage debate. . .what you guys want is outright supression of the other side, it is fascist and tyrannical ideologically speaking, you guys just don't see the argument.

Umm Cho, I know it's a late response but I cited LeMoyne college as a PRIVATE universtity and that years ago, when I was in college my ethics class was balanced. It was one class dude! The majority of the on campus environ was left leaning then and is radical now.

I want the balance on campus, I think it gives the kids a chance to form their own opinions. Most of the PUBLIC universities cited in the article were not exhibiting balance. I also take this with a grain of salt because I don't know the 30K foot view of their overall practices.

While I understand what you're saying, I never have allowed professors to form my opinion. Obviously there's always influence, but you're a weakminded person if you allow those in authority(teaching or otherwise) to serve as the foundation when forming your ideologies.

I agree completely. Unfortunately our public university system is full of the weakminded as you describe. Also, there arent many of the younger generation who arent easily turned to the socialist ideal while in college. No life experience to base their reality off of.

I hope you werent hinting that I am weakminded. I'll have to reedumacate ya! :D

Bear, it is ILLEGAL to hire people based on thier beliefs, and if you even think the topic of politics come up during a teachers interview you are sorely mistaken. Like I said before it is a CONSERVATIVE'S way of hirinig and practice, not a liberals, you just went ahead and proved my point even more. . . Thanks :cheers:

Yep, it is against the law to hire someone based on their political beliefs, maybe if you were a liberal you could understand this.

They don't give to the republicans because the republicans are anti-union. . . do you expect Phillip Morris to give equally to democrats? Why would the give money to a party which is anti-union? Doesn't make sense does it now.

Re-read the post, because it was obviously over your head bear. . .you went out and proved my point for me. . .oops ;)

Oops ;) ? Heres the Washington "POST".

College Faculties A Most Liberal Lot, Study Finds

By Howard Kurtz

Washington Post Staff Writer

Tuesday, March 29, 2005; Page C01

College faculties, long assumed to be a liberal bastion, lean further to the left than even the most conspiratorial conservatives might have imagined, a new study says.

By their own description, 72 percent of those teaching at American universities and colleges are liberal and 15 percent are conservative, says the study being published this week. The imbalance is almost as striking in partisan terms, with 50 percent of the faculty members surveyed identifying themselves as Democrats and 11 percent as Republicans.

Harvard's faculty of arts and sciences hit President Lawrence Summers with a vote of no confidence after he privately wondered about the abilities of women in science and math. (Steven Senne -- AP)

The disparity is even more pronounced at the most elite schools, where, according to the study, 87 percent of faculty are liberal and 13 percent are conservative.

If this was a black white thing you'd be all over it saying that facts are facts.

BUT: Since its your belief vs. conservatism you ignore it say "WELL, that would be illegal"...

:) again, please try again... I might not get it as you say but the Post does.

Whats wrong with being a socialist? I wish colleges cranked out more of my political brothers and sisters, but I really do not see it. And weakminded people are everywhere, even in private colleges.

Also, it could point to the strong corellation (not causation, mind you) between education level and being liberal. Although I hardly think education level is an indication of intelligence (PAT BUCHANAN HAS A FREAKING PHD, ANYONE CAN GET ONE). Just food for thought.
