Liberal Professors forcing their opinions on students

Liberal Professors forcing their opinions on students

I've never met a passive professor teaching a class,,every professor forces their opinion....

How many have you met? One? Zero?

I've never met a God who didn't force his opinion on others (because i've never met a God). God is bad, should be banned!!!! So goes the logic.


You still drunk?
 
So, how many of you people who agree with the thread title and premise, especially you conservatives, hold views now only because you were forced to take on those views by a college professor,

and now are forced to keep them?
The premise is dumb. No one can force you to take on views.

Tell that to the author of this thread.

About your sig line: It's good of you to announce to the entire forum that you're an enemy of capitalism - a socialist, in other words.

So?

Don't you claim to be a believer in capitalism?
 
Those that go to college should be introduced to the latest concepts and thinking in the subject area, that's why they are there and certainly most students have the ability to do their own research if they disagree. Few, if any, students go to college and accept every concept, every idea, every statement as true, and by that time, while they don't have to accept the ideas, they should know of the ideas. There is in this nation a seeming attempt to keep people ignorant and unthinking.
 
yes. but it isn't among colleges .

and if you had gone to college, you would know that you are far from forced to accept "every concept, every idea, every statement as true". you just don't buy stupidity like there's no such thing as evolution.
 
You're trying to equate being a liberal professor is equal to presenting only a left view. You cannot prove that is what is being done.

What is your highest level of educational attainment?

Me? How is my education level relevant? But, I'll tell you anyway ....

Bachelors in Journalism from University of Wisconsin
Masters in Political Science from University of Maryland
Waaaayyyy too long at the School of Hard Knocks

If you had that background then you would be critical of your sources. You would be able to tell the difference between objective and subjective.

Excuse me? Are you questioning my background?

Then, what the hell did you ask for? You can be assured THAT is my background.

no one who got a masters in political science would be claiming what you are. and certainly would't be talking about any "school of hard knocks". in my experience, that is something said by people who aren't educated. just saying.

Guess that means your experience is very limited ... you need to get out more.

At one time education was for the sons of gentlemen, at worst they went to school to learn a profession. Today with the GI Bill, scholarships, other school aids a number of students have experienced some hard-knock life. I often wonder which was the better school, Hard-Knock U or the university. Maybe both?

I always thought that the foremost purpose of a college level education was to teach students to think critically and write and speak competently in support of their positions. There is a big difference between agreeing with a professor and being able to support or oppose a professor's views competently. As my field was economics I often took a position in class I disagreed with, sometimes to give the position a fair hearing and more often to force students to apply the tools we were teaching to the subject matter at hand. Most faculty I have met did pretty much the same. A lot of poor students complain about opinionated professors when they simply cannot make a cogent response to a position that was put forward to make them think critically.

P.S. I was often hardest on students I agreed with. The good guys need all the skilled debaters we can produce.
