Do you believe that higher education has a Liberal bias? (school, education system)

[mintgum84]

People often say this. What say you?

Yes. It is axiomatic that intellectual persons tend to be more liberal. So it should not surprise anyone that higher education is a liberal domain.

Depends where you go. My undergrad was done at a small Christian Republican college and to this day remains highly conservative. My masters was at a larger city university and was mostly liberal, but not exclusively. It just depends on where you go and what professors you have. There's no clear 100% either way.

Pretty much my perspective. High IQ folk tend to be liberal. IQ folk congregate at universities. Ergo, unis are liberal places.

How many have you been to?

While the higher education system if inundated with liberals many highly educated people get through college without buying in to their failed liberal ideas. The intolerant left loves to force their liberalism on to college students who have little choice but to put up with it to graduate

Mine was and I'm thankful for it.

Yes, and it is getting worse. I noticed a huge difference between when I originally got my undergrad and when I got my doctorate around 20 years later. Those in charge of admittance to grad school, dissertation committees, and hiring of facility are more inclined towards those with similar philosophies. It isn't good, education needs to be well rounded. It is less of an issue in the hard sciences.

[Ringo1]

Yes. The universities I attended definitely had a liberal bias. I believe you tend to get a broader view.

A community college English class may help you. There's no bias in grammar.
