Facts and only facts, especially for kids under 16.
I always hear the complaint that the universities are biased with the liberal doctrine, but I have to say, I didn't get any of that. Maybe it was because I was in science, but I did have quite a bit of arts coursework in literature, history and philosophy. There was not ever a push toward any particular agenda. The only thing close was argument writing in a composition course, and that wasn't a big deal because they made you finish one side, then argue the other. I would think the only chance for a college professor to push an agenda would be in political science, religious studies, or maybe an advanced economics course.
Did anyone here ever get an agenda pushed on them in college? If so what was the course and your major?

My macro economics 101 professor wanted to take down the campus' American flag and replace it with the UN flag (this was in 2004).

Most professors were liberal then, and the place is a complete liberal indoctrination center now.

ETA: I'm on the "do not call" list for fund raising, for the caller's protection lol.

Your kid makes me proud!

Also, I've determined we're effed (not that I didn't already know that) but talking with a somewhat "neutral" friend. He feels that all laws should evolve because society needs to be protected from itself. :( I've come to the conclusion that people are brainwashed to believe that pro-2a people are just ass backwards "good ol' boys" that have no clue how civilized society is now. :rolleyes:

People don't read history, and don't care to either. So, they fail to realize why civilized society remains civilized.
