Of the 630,000 full time instructors and college professors at universities, there is a major dysfunction in the way they instruct students. It has been going on for some time and it has been recognized for a while, but unfortunately, only by a few.
It has to do with the world political and cultural view of those who teach our youth in those sensitive late teens and early twenties. It negates, in a sense, the whole purpose of going to college.
The tidbits relegated to memory are soon forgotten. The ability to reason and think clearly, ought to be what college education should instill in youthful minds.
But when not more than 5% of college professors and teachers, vote republican, even much less in the social sciences, as in the 2004 election, red flags should go up all over.
How broad, then, are perspectives being taught? These academics are turning out our media “giants” and our business and political leaders.
My question is rhetorical because the answer is already evident. The media and much of the rest of what graduate are sorely in need of a broader perspective than what they get in school. They require a more independent, and less politically slanted view of what they now get toward business, finance and western values.
I will have more on this subject in my next report.
