And they have a big influence over their students. <You want more education but believe that teachers have a "large influence" and "liberally indoctrinate" people?> I want more education. I don't want more liberally-minded professors. It's too bad that you agree they are the same thing. My thought it I wish it weren't. <Do you believe that you are able to resist their influences but other are not capable of this?> Yes. I've pretty much decided that Conservative policies match my own ideas for the most part. But there are millions of undecided people out there who can be influenced.

You are able to resist their ideas but you wish to control what influences the undecided because you believe them unable to render a decision without your protection? Is this right?
Originally Posted By queenbee <<It's too bad that you agree they are the same thing.>> I did not state my opinion or present any evidence oneway or the other. I think it's ridiculous to suggest that the majority of people who choose to be professors do so, in order to "liberally indoctrinate" others as a primary goal.

Originally Posted By tiggertoo Unfortunately, Josh, it seems that you focusing only on the teaching element of professorship. This is actually the least part of the role, especially at your top-tier schools. Their main responsibility is research. This means that professors are less teachers than they are students themselves. They are students of their craft. They are not there to specifically to “teach” kids how to think about the world necessarily (which the “term” indoctrination” implies), but are employed by the university to learn and discover previously unknown facts about the world. So, given this information, why do you think that the vast majority of the highly educated--the post-graduates--trend toward the left?

Oh, those awful college professors with their big brains and their analytical examination of the issues. Darn them. We want FOLKSY! Give us FOLKSY!
