Campus Reform <http://www.campusreform.org/?ID=5839>: Duke professor
says *colleges
are so left-wing that they are perpetuating ignorance and ideological
bigotry*.
Speaking at Milton Friedman Day
<http://www.popecenter.org/commentaries/article.html?id=3050#.U-4PhvldWSr>
in Wilmington, North Carolina, Professor Michael Munger declared that *American
college students face a “one-question test”: are you liberal or
conservative?*
“*The correct answer is, ‘I’m a liberal, and proud of it.*’ "That concerns
me,” said Munger, who chaired Duke’s Political Science department for a
decade.
Munger recalled a department chair meeting where a female professor
remarked that liberal students already knew the correct answer.
*“I find that I don’t really need to spend much time with the liberal
students, because they already have it right,”* said the professor. “*I
spend most of my time arguing with conservative students.* That’s how I
spend my time in the class.”
*“It’s as if we asked students to play chess, but only taught them one-move
openings,”* Munger complained, though he added that conservative students
“study the whole game, not just the first move.”
*“It may have come as a shock to the parents of these liberal students that
they had learned everything they need to know...in high school,”* Munger
said. “Having memorized a kind of secular leftist-catechism, they were free
to wander around the quads of Duke and enjoy themselves.”
Munger said a colleague at Duke coined the phrase “The Women’s Studies Nod”
to explain the collective mentality of liberal students agreeing with and
perpetuating the beliefs of other liberal students.
“When someone makes a ridiculously extreme, empirically unfounded but
ideologically correct argument, everyone else must nod vigorously,” said
Munger. “[It is] not just a, ‘Yes that’s correct,’ nod, but ‘*Yes, you are
correct, you are one of us, we are one spirit and one great collective
shared mind’ nod.*”
Munger says this sense of collectivism has left liberal students unable to
defend and argue their points against counterarguments and has left them
ill equipped for the real world.
I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked! One only need to see examples of how
liberalism is alive and well in education to understand this. See the
following examples:
