Professor Williams also said that it was a “cowardly act to take advantage of student immaturity by indoctrinating them with the professor’s opinions before the student has developed the maturity and skill to examine other opinions.”
Below is a transcript of Walter Williams’s remarks:
“This year completes my 50th year of teaching – I know I don’t look like it, but it’s 50 years – and my 36th year of teaching at George Mason University.
“Academia is not what it was in 1967 when I thought my first class at Los Angeles City College. Many professors, particularly those on the socialistic side of the political spectrum, use their classrooms to proselytize students. While professorial proselytization is common and accepted at most universities, I believe that to use one’s classroom to push one’s personal beliefs is both immoral and dishonest.
“Like others, I have my own values and opinions. Such as those that are expressed in my nationally syndicated column and many of my radio and television appearances. But they never become a part of my classroom discussion. In fact, I tell my students that if they hear me say something that is subjective without first having prefaced it with in my opinion – and I tell them that when I say in my opinion, they can stop taking notes – they are to raise their hand and tell me that they took my class to learn economics not to be indoctrinated by my values.
“It is a cowardly act to take advantage of student immaturity by indoctrinating them with the professor’s opinions before the student has developed the maturity and skill to examine other opinions.”

That was the "red-(D)iaper" plan of our favorite unrepentant (D)omestic terrorist, "PIG" killer X 3, comrade, neighbor, mentor, business partner {then, AND now, "OFA"}, and co-professor of BHO (D), Bill Ayers (D), after being "crushed" following-up the late '60's early '70's, SDS and Weather Underground trial-run of "overthrowing the enemy, America" {"Rules for Radicals"}. "Red-(D)iaper" Bill A, realized that the Marxist {Alinsky} strategies that had worked for so long, world-wide, "bottom-up, top-down, inside-out," failed miserably in America because there was not yet a Marxist educated "top, to come-down." Well, it took "lefty" education from the early 70's, to the 2008 election before it all came together for the radical Marx/Alinsky movement (D); and see how well they did??? Hummmmmm. It seems, by the time the "bottom" was able to "come-up," {OWS/CPUSA/SPUSA/LGBTQ, etc.}, the radical movement landed in NYC, and "red-(D)iaper" Mayor, Bill de Blasio (D), had a hissy-fit. OWS was screwing-up life for the secular liberal progressive government and their "lap-(D)og" MSM (D), their nightly Upper West Side cocktail parties and their luxurious "Brown-Stone" penthouses were on-hold. OWS was pitching-tents, defecating and doing drugs in beautiful {loaned} private parks, crapping on private police details, trashing traffic and roads and business' all over secular liberal progressive NYC. As (D)arlings of the "left," and advertised and aggrandized by the administration and MSM as the "lefty Tea Party," Bill de B., put-up with the nonsense for months; until he found a great black/white conflict to politicize and ran all the "protestors" out to Ferguson. Interesting.

Another reason I like Walter Williams. He and Thomas Sowell are two of my favorites for their thoughtful essays and valid political concepts.

That is why there should be no public unions. A teacher who refuses to teach the truth and forces his opinions on our youth should be fired, not transferred to another school where he can continue instilling his beliefs on a new classroom.
AuntieE, When I was in college in the late 60s, I had a few professors that wanted to push their own agenda. In Queens College, I had a teacher for world history (contemporary civilization) that was a convert to Catholicism. The entire course was all about trying to convert Jewish students that made up most of the class. This was a huge violation of academic freedom. The entire class complained as well as parents. We were told that there was nothing they could do about it because the teacher was tenured. Another professor at Queens College was a member of the Progressive Labor Party. While she was a great teacher, her goal was to turn us into revolutionaries. Neither professor managed to change anybody to their point of view, It's a damn shame that college professors can do this because they can't be fired!

As I mentioned before; I went straight from high school to college. I ran out of money during my soph year and dropped out After knocking around for a couple of years in the real world and getting married, I was still broke so I enlisted. Upon returning to college with some help from Uncle Sam, (after having spent some time in Uncle Sam's employ, courtesy of the Army) I went back to college and was astonished at how clueless so many of the professors were about the real world. (Also astonished at how gullible myself and my contemporaries had been to be suckered by these Liberal Hobbit Dancers.)
