Uh, no you never said that you disagreed with the curriculum, you said that there were ideas that you did not agree with.

Since you were not specific, I posted the principles. That is not the curriculum, in fact the curriculum is not even posted on that site. It sounds to me like you have an irrational fear of anything affiliated with the word "Koch".

The problem is, the economy fixing itself by laissez faire standards are not the same as the economy being sustainable for 160 million workers.

If that is the case, it sounds like you have a problem with Adam Smith, not the Charles Koch Institute. Did you know that Keynes only advocated for a short term action by government to stimulate a sluggish economy? He would not agree with current Keynesian theorists that government action is the lifeblood of an economy.

I got it, we can now call all the Koch Brothers alarmists Kochphobes!

The Koch Brothers choose to pay for multiple departments at universities and specify that to keep that money, they have to teach those economic ideals and those only. so no, my problem isnt with Smith as Smith would have said teach economics and let people pick which school or philosophy is best for themselves.

Keynes' argument was that when you do a stimulus, you do it right because half$^%# it only results in half$^% results.He obviously put it more elegantly.

Seeing as many of those schools on the list are public universities, it shouldn't be too hard for you to locate a public record which proves your conspiracy theory.

I would like to see an actual document, not a hit piece by leftist blogs and "news" sites like Daily Kos, HuffPo, or Mother Jones which is all that came up on the first page when I searched for your sentence.

Public record for what, we already agree that it happens, its on the Koch Brothers own website(that certainly isnt some left blog or "news" site) .

The idea is a conservative form of economic policies, which is the curriculum.

the principles are not the curriculum, so even in your twisted attempt to side step the debate, you would still be wrong.

in fact the curriculum is not even posted on that site.

This is where research and hiring practices were mentioned earlier.
