Once upon a time, that was the way it actually worked. I remember taking a government course from a Marxist in college. I didn't even find out he was a Marxist until afterwards. In class, he was happy when we could just think clearly.
But that was back when Silents, who like to look at both sides of the question (endlessly), were in charge. Academia has since been perverted for political purposes, and that's all the Millenials have been exposed to.
Quote:Academia usually knows nothing about the real world and cares nothing for practicality. The liberals want us to go many years to be brainwashed just to get a living wage while learning no practical skills. They also claim to care about the wages of the worker while trying to import the entire third world and encouraging the worst labor abuses in places like China.
They've basically knuckled under to the elites that pay them to indoctrinate people into a culture which permits the elites to drive costs down with imported labor, so that those elites can further increase their profits. I miss the days when the elites made their money by providing better products to the masses.
