You must hang around a completely different class of 18-year-olds than I do, if they all come into their freshman year with their opinions and philosophies fully formed and immune to the onslaught of crap they are about to receive.

As for the last four paragraphs, I'm sure there are conservative professors. Heck, I knew one at Stanford. Now tell me which group runs the college, and the agenda, and sets up and attends the widely-publicized seminars; and which group mostly keeps their head down hoping it doesn't get cut off?

Frankly, I'm hoping that more students and parents vote with their feet, but in the current academic environment, it's damn hard to find alternatives that do not swing to the other end of the pendulum (Bob Jones University).
