I think it’s high time we did something about the persecution of conservative students; although this student might not be one, her experiment really highlights the persecution they are subject to. Just like we would not let the Nazis and cancer exist in our society, we would not allow Leftists to do so, either. Perhaps President Bush could sign an executive order that requires all schools that have excessive liberalism (with no effort being made by the school administration to combat it) to be completely defunded. If we are going to reduce the amount of grip academia and the rest of the crackpot community has on our society, we should persuade President Bush to do something about it, while he still can.

However, in reality, students get most of their perspective from their teachers and the media in their lives. Math, science and any meaningful history/civics or critical thinking is not the emphasis. While teachers have the power of indoctrination under the guise of education, the media pastes junky 5 word headlines for simpletons. There is no question of bias in anything on TV/radio or most all young people are exposed to. And there is only one way to present an issue, and only one conclusion to be reached. Its 30 years of garbage in and garbage out now.

Conservatism is bad, though they don’t have a clue what being conservative means.

What young people don’t recognize is that they are the establishment, the ones who don’t question the authority they’ve been raised in. Along with their parents/teachers and other adults in their life, they are status quo, the ones who can’t think critically.

The result is a very dangerous stupidity.

I’m more concerned about the parents than the ‘children’ who expressed extreme disapproval. However, it should be added that under any circumstance it has been said kids can be very mean. More than we might imagine. But they would probably not naturally pay attention to politics if not observing their parent’s reaction to it, even with all that is available thru the net, etc.
