Wow you couldn't be more wrong! It's the PC fanatics that want to burn books and impose censorship.I am a student, although not social sciences, but I can attest that the biggest idiotism is taught, especially at American colleges. In Europe, everyone is used to it, but in the US now too? Here is an example. Why should you want assets as your money? Why should you want cash? Why should you want hereditary piers participating in the political leadership of your country? Why should you want an Electoral College? Why should you want to stand your ground? Why would you ever disagree with popular majority elections? And so on. They expect you to be "sensible" enough to have a "common sense" to say "no" to all these. The Soviet communists couldn't have done it better.
You like to burn ideas as much as you'd like to burn books I'd guess.
For you and the other simple minds out there. When you leave a class, any class, you don't have to believe it and you aren't in any jeopardy because you are asked and are answering questions that make you uncomfortable.
That is precisely what college is for. Otherwise you can just sit next to your AM radio and hear all the claptrap that some snake oil salesman wants to sell you and veg out. Its called the tea party.
