[QUOTE="joshpoints, post: 472065, member: 546465"] Totally agree. In fact statistics on this are quite interesting. The study -- which found that Penn's faculty members are overwhelmingly Democratic by a ratio of 12 to 1 -- surveyed the faculty and administration of 32 colleges and universities around the country. It included all of the Ivy League schools, in addition to other prominent research institutions like Stanford University and smaller colleges such as Amherst and Pomona. Now I believe when it comes to america the overall it is something like split. Yet when students graduate from college the number of liberals is close to matching percentages for liberal professors. Now the opposing side says that a person's mind can not be altered since they have spent years with their parents. My though is this. In middle school through high school most kids rebell against parents along with the fact some parents don't even want to get into it because they have no time and feel their all crooks. In high school the liberal biased became very noticeable, but back in elementary and middle school I can't even remember what the teachers said. So you're hearing a political stance from someone besides your parents in high school so you see what they have to say, maybe you throw it off. But the teachers keep pushing. Then you get to college and are away from your parents and you see your parents much less. Teachers continue to tell one sided stories all the students agree and cheer for the professor. You argue them and it gets you know where as you just piss off the other students and fear that your grade will become a subjective matter, so you just back off. I remember seeing this in high school. Constant Bush bashing so we had to vote after all this bashing. Well only one student voted other than Gore. Guess who that guy was. It was me. I almost voted third party american independent just to really piss them off. But I voted Bush and they were pissed. 1 student out of the class. Now I have no problem giving the liberal side story. But to leave out the other sides story just isn't right. [/QUOTE]
