That may be, but yes people in general are brainwashed in college. Havn't you been to college yet?
Brainwashing how? Because they dont subscibe to your ideas? A student goes to college to learn not to teach. If they didnt subscribe to your way of thinking its probably because there is a inherit flaw with it, or that they simply disagreed. Thats hardly brainwashing, it means you didnt make your case. The fault is with your argument not their reasoning of it.
I find many conservative arguements while full of confidence and zeal are often minus the very basic facts, either by ignorance or "selective research" -meaning inconvient facts that disprove or run contrary to conservative thinking are simply discarded or ignored. Often is the case that something sounds good like "Liberals hate guns" because they believe in gun control. Rather than the facts, "they might believe in gun control but go visit New England sometime during the fall to see how anti-gun they are".
You cant have it both ways. This idea amongst conservatives that higher education is a bad thing -and then be upset with studies such as this one.
Mind you -I am not saying that every conservative is a stupid moron. But the base of the movement, (not the intellectuals) has become more of a Borg Collective mind that simply repeat whatever they are told, without bothering to check whether its actually true or not. Liberals have their faults, but this ability to bleat on cue isnt one of them.
ok ok, wow never said that it was a bad thing, but especially where im from, wisconsin, with UW Madison being the best school in the state, its a VERY liberal school and ive been told by numerous people of moderate political stance that the school brainwashes you and to think anything besides the liberal norm is out of the question. Also i plan on going to college to get my docterate in history so i can become a college professor, so i love higher eductation. Also i have been told by professors that its incrediably difficult for someone with conservative/liberterian views to get a job.
