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.

Perhaps he does recognize and it is intentional. Many colleges are
bastions of liberalism and not aligned at all with the Republican party.

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.

Horse****.



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.

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 don't recall college having much effect on my politics but engineering
