College Political Shortcomings

I have spoken about this often before. Its importance makes it worth repeating.

Of the 630,000 full time college instructors and professors, there is a major dysfunction in the way they instruct their students. It has been going on for some time, but it has been recognized only by a few.

It has to do with the world political and cultural view of those who teach our youth. and negates the whole purpose of going to college.

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 are perspectives being taught? These academics are turning out media “giants” and our business and political leaders who are attuned to ideas slanted to one political party.

The media are desperately 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.
