Hearings today at least in part about whether to suspend patent rights
on the successful Corona vaccines. Oone member of the committee: "What sounds good in an ivory-tower college thesis does not correspond to reality." Richard Burr R-NC Educations Committee Ranking Member. It's second nature for some people to be nasty. How much better it would have been to just say What sounds good on paper , instead of repeating the popular ridicule of colleges. But I bet he doesn't even notice that he's ridiculing anything, or that he's antagonizing people who admire the college academic world, and who will if only reflexively oppose anything he's says following this wisecrack. Words have power to do both good and bad. |

You should hear my son about #1 daughter. She was brought up a conservative but graduated a liberal. Same with her husband from a very conservative family. |

Is higher education a bastion of liberalism? Does it undermine its own principles of diversity by discriminating against certain political minorities? Numerous conservatives contend that the answers to both questions are obvious. At least since Allan Bloom's "Closing of the American Mind" 25 years ago, critics have complained that colleges and universities are being overtaken and corrupted by liberalism \u2014 and even worse, "socialism." This victory has sparked not only a pernicious disregard for traditional education; it has also led to a degenerate climate where conservatives feel they are victimized as a minority. (As an example, a full-time college professor asserted on this page recently that he and other conservative academics feel they are targets of bias.) Such complaints are ill-founded. During the last several decades, the academic world has increasingly become a conservative's dream: a citadel of capitalism. Yes, surveys show that most college professors claim some vague allegiance to liberalism, but this has minor significance. While they are allotted their trendy moments and causes \u2014 sustainability, multiculturalism, ecosensitivity and the rest, too numerous to mention \u2014 academics are largely subsumed by a pervasive, conservative corporate climate. https://www.baltimoresun.com/opinion...712-story.html You should hear my son about #1 daughter. She was brought up a conservative but graduated a liberal. That doesn't imply that the institution she matriculated from was a "liberal bastion"; education in general is counter to the republican philosophy - an educated voter will be unlikely to fall for most republican lies. And there is nothing wrong with being a identified as a liberal, nor is there anything wrong with being identified as a conservative. On any issue, forget ideology and look at the facts. |

The Repubs have moved away from the colleges, not the reverse. The Repubs just get more and more wacko right. Educated people can recognize that. |

I recently saw a photo of a graduating class. One girl had a home made sign on top of her mortarboard to the effect of 'survived 4 years without becoming a liberal'. I don't recall college having much effect on my politics but engineering schools, at least back then, weren't hotbeds of liberalism. You were a lot more likely to run into a YAF or JBS member that a SDS follower. Several of my friends worked for Goldwater and that didn't turn out well. |
