The other day, I was speaking with a college student who was right leaning on the political spectrum, something I found refreshing because many college aged kids whether in college or not, lean to the far-left. She explained to me that in her political science class her professor was completely enthralled with President Obama almost to a religious fundamentalist level. She was afraid to challenge his comments and lectures in class, although he encouraged the students to do so, for fear it would affect her grade or he’d attempt to humiliate her in class for her viewpoints.
She noted it had happened to other students so now she just sits there and smiles, without any outward emotion, straight faced looking straight ahead. One might say she has enough emotional intelligence not to upset the professor or her quest to eventually graduate with a degree. She also had an economics class, get this, on the same day, where she felt more at home as her economics professor was very matter of fact in his teaching style, without all the political correctness, and he showed the math and history to back up the quasi-science of it all.
She explained that the dichotomy of those divergent thoughts of far-left and right-leaning economic paradigms were an eye-opener, and admitted that after listening to her political science teacher and then going into the economics class, it’s as if a shroud was lifted, one which was cloaking any sense of reality or even the basic common sense of human behavior. She wished she had more professors like her economics teacher, and quite frankly so do I. In fact, I wish they taught economics to all professors and every student was required to take such courses, even in high-school.
Okay so, let me ask you something. If colleges are brainwashing our kids into left-wing ideology, refusing to teach them any alternative, then they are not teaching them to think, they are just conditioning and limiting their minds. If so, they should pay us for doing so, and pay for any college tuition costs which help propel their true motives for a socialist society.
This story is not unique by any stretch of the imagination, and I’ve had similar conversations with college students across this country – and it is a problem of epic proportions – in fact, if we don’t fix this – we could watch our nation go from a Super Power to a bankrupt socialist state in one generation. Please consider all this and think on it.
