[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there any good schools whose culture has not been completely overtaken by the "white people are to blame for the world's woes"? And don't tell me to look at Liberty. I mean Ivies and a level below. I feel like the college cultural pendulum has swung so hard to the left. Even Chris Rock says he doesn't do college tours because college audiences are so intolerant! (In the name of tolerance, of course).

Thank you for being frank about a real problem with American education. When colleges are teaching how to squat, hire the likes of Bill Ayers, etc., this is an important question![/quote]
Totally agree with the PP. Colleges have become a haven for the far left wingnuts. To the OP's point, they are simply intolerant of anyone who thinks differently.[/quote]

Which again proves my point, your child is too stupid to critically analyze and accept the viewpoints of others because if he/she wasn't, you wouldn't complain and agree with the OP. But here's how I know you're a hypocrite; people like you are almost always intolerant of other people's views who run counter to yours and immediately get defensive when challenge and presented with information from the other side.[/quote]

[i]"University of Virginia professor Jonathan] Haidt’s research asks individuals to answer questionnaires regarding their core moral beliefs—what sorts of values they consider sacred, which they would compromise on, and how much it would take to get them to make those compromises. By themselves, these exercises are interesting. (Try them online and see where you come out.)

But Haidt’s research went one step further, asking self-indentified conservatives to answer those questionnaires as if they were liberals and for liberals to do the opposite. What Haidt found is that conservatives understand liberals’ moral values better than liberals understand where conservatives are coming from. Worse yet, liberals don’t know what they don’t know; they don’t understand how limited their knowledge of conservative values is. If anyone is close-minded here it’s not conservatives.[/i]"

Great job, pp, proving Haidt's point :)
