Lionel Lewis debunks the myth that pinko professors are defiling the youth. (Turns out Washington's "Vulcans" are a product of the very same institutions that are accused of having a liberal faculty that's inhospitable to conservatives).
Also, shockingly enough, college students are mostly intelligent people who can ::gasp:: think for themselves, so they mostly aren't blindly led by their professors (even if they are all commies to begin with...which they're not...thought I'd clarify, in case you weren't following my oh so subtle sarcasm):
"Indeed, it has long been known that it hardly matters what professors teach students. What matters is what they come away with—and that is pretty much what they bring with them when they first set foot on campus. The broadest range of ideas can be found on all but the most doctrinal campuses, and students can readily find a niche without having to change their beliefs. Research spanning six decades has shown that the effect of college on the attitudes, values, religiosity, and political views of students, on elite campuses and elsewhere, is almost nil. In light of this research, it hardly makes a difference if the professoriate is mostly liberal or conservative, teaching Leo Tolstoy or Leon Trotsky."
