Really?

Wouldn't that be a shame! If that happens, we would all learn what liberal academia has been feeding students for the past several decades. Why do you think the majority of millennials lean to the left politically. I'm kind of surprised the left would be open and blatant enough to admit what their game is. If it isn't enough to have this occurring in our colleges, then we have to endure the l*****t media continuing it after they leave. The reaction of the left to Trump's e******n 3 1/2 years ago is only a small taste of what they're prepared to do when their game is uncovered. The dearth of protests from adults and the right could be due to the attitude that, "Well, when they get the taste of a few decades of reality they will realize how wrong the left is." True to a certain extent but with a bit too much apathy for my taste.

Crackpot opinion from a right wing nutter. Plagiarism and copyright infringement is a legitimate concern for anyone in an academic field.

Go audit a few courses, in most places it is free especially for senior citizens. A university’s goal, is not to teach people what to think but rather to teach them to think. This, while far from indoctrination is a threat to some people. It seems that the right these days wants to limit higher education to glorified vocational training.

If colleges & universities can teach on line now, they can anytime. If should reduce costs by 75%. Keep the labs, sell everything else. Administrative costs should go down 90%, no need for thousands of deans of this & that, no need to be paying college presidents millions just for their ability in fund raising.

Parents & students might be able to get by w/o student loans which have allowed these institutions to get rich.

Reporting what a college professor teaches is not plagiarism: I suggest you learn to use a dictionary.

Copyright infringement? Is a course taught on-line copyrighted? Better find out first before you spout off.

And, of course, leftwingnut college professors always present both sides of an issue, keeping their personal bias out. <sarcasm intended>. That is demonstrated by Conservative students who have been chastised for presenting opposing views.

The salvation of our economy is going to be vocational training. We are dying on the vine in critical industries for highly sk**led vocations. Your opinion of vocational training must be low for you to insult it by “glorified”. If your electricity, plumbing, HVAC, fails, do you call an expert on mating habits of aboriginal peoples 2,000 yers ago?

Your attitude toward vocational training is the very reason we are in the shape we are in industrial competition in the world.

I need mechatronic engineers badly. It is a vocation requiring critical thinking in a real world.

Kevyn, you talk as if everyone is as naive and uninformed as yourself. If you have had any experience in college level courses, I would think you would know enough to know that a professor, most of whom today have been indoctrinated in l*****t ideology themselves, subtly t***sfer their beliefs to students. If you think most colleges and universities don't teach l*****t thinking, you are far from being well-educated. I have been there and have reviewed teachings, both with my children and others. It's sort of like saying that main stream media doesn't lean left and pass these beliefs on to their viewers. Wake up, pal.

Good point, Vet. It's interesting that you never hear of l*****t thinking being demonstrated against on college campuses.

Why would a college prof want to hide what is taught in his class???

Plagiarism and copyright infringement is classroom lessons?

What a crock!!!! I have taught college science for over 25 years and I have seen how the left have infiltrated the colleges. In fact, it is those l*****t i***ts who don't want to teach their students to think. They want to teach them their politics, pure and simple.

You don't have a clue about what you are talking about, as usual.
