- redblacktree 10y agoDo you have any evidence for this? I've not heard anyone make this claim before, and I'm curious how much validity it may have.
- rwmj 10y agoThat's a circular argument. Why are education systems liberal? And where's your evidence that earlier "most institutions had a conservative slant"?
