[tips] Re: Failure of the liberal left

[Robert Wildblood]

You're reading me wrong only slightly.  With the publication of the 100 most dangerous professors and a number of complaints and law suits against "Liberal faculty" who are accused of treating conservative students (often in religion as well as politics) of denigrating their religious and political beliefs, I just thought it was interesting that so many students on the left and right seem not to be as affected by liberal faculty as some Conservative Christian leader have stated.  The Chronicle has an article as well: WHETHER THEY IDENTIFY THEMSELVES as Democrats or Republicans,    college students agree on the importance of religion and share    a concern for the country's moral direction. But their views on    the role religion should play in politics break down along    party lines, according to a new poll of student's political    and religious views. After a debate about the responsibilities of government in dealing with social service issues (in this case primarily around foster care) I just thought it was serendipitous that these articles would appear today.   BW On 12 Apr2006, at 7:55 AM, Louis Schmier wrote: Bob, I’m reading you wrong, aren’t I?  You’re not saying or implying that to be liberal you must be anti-religion and that as a professor who is an avowed and unabashed liberal it is my responsibility to suck religiosity and spirituality out of students?   Make it a good day.       --Louis-- Louis Schmier                                www.therandomthoughts.com Department of History                    : www.newforums.com/L_Schmier.htm Valdosta State University Valdosta, Georgia 31698                    /\   /\  /\            /\ (229-333-5947)                                /^\\/  \/  \   /\/\__/\ \/\                                                         /     \/   \_ \/ /   \/ /\/    \      /\                                                        //\/\/ /\    \__/__/_/\_\    \_/__\                                                 /\"If you want to climb mountains,\ /\                                             _ /  \    don't practice on mole hills" -   --- To make changes to your subscription go to: http://acsun.frostburg.edu/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=tips&text_mode=0&lang=english Dr. Bob Wildblood Lecturer in Psychology Indiana University Kokomo 2300 S Washington St PO Box 9003 Kokomo, IN 46904-9003 765-455-9483 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Too many good docs are getting out of the business.  Too many OB/GYN's aren't able to practice their love with women all across the country."
