Re: You can't take my poster from me...

I'm not at all sure how that relates to the various rights of the school and professor. Having said that though, have you thought about the various religious colleges? All right wing.

However, the more public schools are filled with the best and the brightest, the more knowledgeable. Having thought things out more thoroughly than your average bear they will of course be more left-wing. Not driven by greed, with a concern for others besides themselves, they tend to go for "the greatest good for the greatest number". It's a function of education, an awareness of the world beyond themselves and intelligence working together. It's always been that way.

There's a difference between education and learning a trade, and intelligence and comprehending the world and it's people.

A lot of conservatives have been educated into a trade and can add, subtract and multiply, no doubt about it. That doesn't translate into compassion, empathy and a concern for anyone but themselves. When that happens one becomes a liberal.

At least that's how it seems from here.

As George Kennan said, "Reality is the natural enemy of conservatives."
