[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What the hell does libertarian have to do with anything?[/quote]

no liberal guilt . Allow you to learn things in your own. [/quote]

Seriously, what are you prattling on about? Liberal guilt? Huh?

We're talking about colleges and universities here. You know, institutions of higher learning. What are you talking about libertarians and liberal guilt for?[/quote]

Activism permeates many colleges. Think Berkeley, Wellesley, Wesleyan, etc. professors at many colleges mark down f you don't tow their line re: liberal values. Note your smart tone. My son doesn't want that permeating his educational experience and I don't want to pay for it[/quote]

Your intensive experience tells you this, I take it? Or, are you rationalizing your child's inability to gain acceptance to those schools?

I attended some of these, and in my experience, people were taught to see the forest for the trees -- I have never heard of a professor marking down a student for disagreeing with him or her ideologically. Maybe if the disagreement wasn't persuasively argued with evidence (which tends to be a problem for a lot of conservatives), but for the disagreement, per se.

It seems to me that you're the only one prioritizing an ideology here is you. You seem very concerned that your child not be encouraged to explore ideas outside your short-sighted bubble of what is acceptable. [/quote]
