Both my daughters complained about how often they were pressured to write liberal themed papers, how their teachers spoke freely of left wing views in class and how they were punished by their teachers for speaking up and not being liberal.
Yet another reason that government should not monopolize education. Government isn't going to not speak out for government and it's not going to give free speech against government, it never does.
Suuuuure they do personal anecdotes are all the rage![]()
They were punished? How?
Most overtly in grading. The teachers talk over them, tell them not to be political in class, yet they say overtly liberal political things, they called W a criminal, that sort of thing.
My oldest daughter graduated from Duke last spring, double major in math & French. She's living in France this year on a Duke program and starting her PhD at NYU in the Fall in French where she's getting a free ride as well a stipend to live so she'll graduate with no debt. I paid for Duke, but I don't pay for graduate school, that's my deal with my kids. So she's no academic slouch. She could give you a laundry list of teacher political bias, I know, I hear it all the time. I tell her to just write what her liberal teachers want to hear. She's a warrior though, she refuses to do it.
