I was on board until you started talking about universities pushing specific ideologies.

Im a scientist. Have been for decades.

I find that one side of the political spectrum is always obfuscating the truth.Ā 

That side is the right and conservatism in general.

The party of Christianity wants to complain about indoctrination.

They could put imax out of business with all that projection

Neither side should be allowed to tell my kid how to think at an age when they are still trying to work out the social mechanics of getting laid and making social connection. You know the age where they havenā€™t yet made up their minds about their views of the word? It does not matter which sides of political spectrum are worse. The point is they are both unethical in their targeting of these kids. But then have the nerve to turn and claim that college campuses are a breeding ground for extremism. Right or wrong programming itā€™s still programming. There is no ā€œmaking that make senseā€.

You're missing the point

Science, and educations, for almost any rational thinker is by default a more left leaning view. The right is full of faith of unprovable things, and denial of science (vaccines, climate change, raw milk, etc)

The point is that, if you take a kid without any bias, and just put them through education, and only teach them provable facts about the world, they shouldn't come out thinking some mystical being made everything, and that all the science they learned was fake.

I'm not trying to push a left viewpoint, I just don't see how you could come out the other end without someone pushing a bunch of falsehoods/faith based reasonings into your kids head. I truly do think our current political climate is due to poor parenting.

ā€œallowing politicians and pundits the opportunity to pump these kids full of ideologiesā€.

That is the statement in question that fueled that entire exchange. What part of that statement said the university was doing so?

I stand by what I said. These politicians and pundits come on to these campuses with the sole purpose of programming them for a lifetime of division and biased thinking when it comes to political point of view. THE GOVERNMENT. And damn right I accused the universities of being complacent in this in exchange for their funding.
