On Campus
There is ample evidence
that the vast majority of professors and administrators in our
colleges and universities lean left politically. Many to the
far left. This in itself is not a problem, and it is certainly
their right. But the students who are only given this outlook
and taught that those who disagree are evil idiots are not being
educated. They are being indoctrinated. The same applies to
anyone who would do the same from a right-leaning perspective.
Kids in college are young
and have little perspective or historical knowledge when they
arrive. So it's not too difficult to lead them down an ideological
path without them even realizing it. Especially when the whole
campus environment is in support of the same views.
Students should be given
both sides, without condescension or vitriol toward one side
or the other. They should be taught to decide for themselves,
and not feel threatened or intimidated if they end up disagreeing
with their professor.
This site will stay on top
of what is being taught, and how. We will advocate independent
thinking and evenhanded teaching. And we will shine bright light
on those professors and institutions that are indoctrinating
rather than teaching.
