Medienkritik Comment
Left a comment to this post: Davids Medienkritik: The Left in American Academia.
Comment:
I don't disagree with the Herr Professor's observations, but I do disagree with his conclusions:
So long as political indoctrination continues on America’s college campuses the gradual transformation of America will continue. Bit by bit, step by step, the liberal college professors educate new generations into believing that liberal values are better, more refined, more logical, than conservative values. The end result is a slow but steady reform of America, away from what it once was and into something it was never meant to be: a second Europe. Gradually, more and more young Americans graduate from college and vote for more leftist candidates. Issue by issue, state by state, the will of the radical college professors is allowed to increase the presence of government and roll back individual freedom.
I do not believe that what we are witnessing is an incremental creep towards liberalism but an incremental discovery of liberal dogma on the campuses. Just as the MSM can no longer "get away with" liberal bias, in an incremental two steps forward one step back manner, the same destiny awaits liberal academia.
Furthermore, this "correction" is not just a rebalancing of equal poles of thought, but a trend towards a superior philosophy, one of strong individuals and less government (and secular "governing") in general.
