Unfortunately, this would require firing most of our college and university professors, since almost 75% of them are self-acclaimed liberals.

We need college professors who can THINK, not just ones that can FEEL.

Maybe then our college graduates will START being smart, instead of just being indoctrinated loud-mouths.

So... who's ready to begin overhauling the American Education System?!?!?!

Teaching positions are open to conservatives too. They aren't there for a reason... if you don't know why you should worry.

I'm in education. Don't even think about trying to give me a condescending little lecture as to what's going on in America's education system.

It seems to me like young people could be given these considerations without firing anyone. Sounds like you don't want to give up any of the control you have over the students. Explain to me why you think we would have to fire professors to give these college students these considerations.

Maybe the more knowledge you have the more likely you are to be liberal. Why else would there not be more conservative teachers? What conspiracy is preventing them from those jobs?

If you want BALANCED education, rather than one-sided indoctrination, you'll have to fire a whole lot of professors BECAUSE THEY'RE OVERWHELMINGLY LIBERAL.

It's kind of like a child growing up in a radical Muslim family and hearing nothing other than "America is the Great Satan!" What do you suppose that child will grow up believing?

You're not at all familiar with hiring processes, are you.

You don't like to explain things, do you?

In what way does the hiring process target where you stand politically?

What's your definition of smart, because I have a feeling it has something to do with being conservative as well. Your double-standard isn't helping your argument AT ALL.

I am. My mother is a professor. They aren't allowed to ask you who you voted for, or what party you belong to, any more than they can ask you what race, gender, or sexuality you are.
