Thinking person,

As a person that attended a very liberal college, I was just trying to give my fair account. If you noticed, I said that I was rather turned off by mixing politics with MY education. I also used the word “tend”, which means, by no means absolute. How about on average?

Why are you attacking me when I assume we agree on the topic, which you failed to address? Pushing politics on students that are there to learn professional skill is unprofessional, at best, IMO. As a person that received this “indoctrination”, why don’t you ask me some questions? I’ll give you 100% straight answers. Would you like to open up some discussion on the topic instead of acting scared or angry?

Also should we be having a discussion on churches as well? I feel 100% the same for churches. I try to attend churches with my family but get turned off by the political rhetoric. That’s not what I’m there for. Is that indoctrination? I don’t want my little kids listening to anti-gay, evolution, or abortion rhetoric. I’m not ready to discuss what all that means with a 4 and 8 yo. When they are old enough, I will do my best to describe those issues, and they can make up their own minds.

I think this is a very interesting topic and would like some discussion and can live without the name calling.
