Of course. Learning hard-line republicanism is "education" but liberal ideals are "indoctrination".
I think this goes against the ideals that America was supposedly built on.
Sounds like just more right-wing christian dogmatism to me ...

I can explain the reason for that book easy. People pay to read horse shit that's what! I've been around education for more than 10 years now and I can tell you that yes schhol and thier cirriculums are geared toward certain ways of thinking, but to say that the college system in the US is creating a bunch of "rabid liberals" is absurd. Ever hear of Texas A&M? *LOL* Sheesh...Also take into account the numerous and valuable schools that have very conseravtive ideologies because of religious affiliation. Are they pumping out a bunch of Jesus loving hippy liberals? Well, one hopes *LOL* but the real answer is no.
Sincerely,

Aw geesh, to read this on the day where I got motivated and feeling good because I signed up for some classes at the Community College.
I agree that universities here lean left a little, but not as outrageously and conspiratorially as the author of the book probably asserts. There needs to be more balance. I work for a textbook publisher, and there is a lot of criticism that PC concerns have made college textbooks sterile.

Euphemism
"I have found myself walking down a hall accidentally overhearing some liberal professor telling the class something like the following: 'Transsexuals are just the same as you and me' or 'Marriage is a form of capitalist oppression, which is only beneficial to men. Studies prove it!'
What a load of BS!
I went to college in NYU, in the heart of Greenwich village. It was a liberal-leaning school, no doubt about it.
But the vast majority of instructors, both faculty and graduate students, did exactly what teachers should do: they challenged the students' assumptions, whether those were liberal or conservative. They made the students think.
I should add that I've never heard any professional academic, no matter how radically feminist, claim that "studies have proven" that marriage is a form of oppression. Plus, the bugaboo of feminists is "patriarchy", not "capitalism." Mike Adams has simply manufactured a quote to pander to the stereotypes and biases of his audience.

Fresh and bitterly funny, his book proves the universities, far from being places for open discussion, are really dungeons of the mind that indoctrinate students to become socialists, atheists, race-baiters and narcissists.
Oh yes those evil atheists.

Education ... it's a long job (flash style comment) When you know, you didn't know, you'll realise that you didn't or simply couldn't.
It took times for all of us with the JW stuff

College taught me what my drinking limits are, and that Jagermeister makes me love the under side of pool tables. God bless the American University :)

If Ann Coulter is recommending it, watch out! She ain't exactly an unbiased font of truthfulness herself.
