Probably because the education system, in most western countries is largely subsidised by government. So the professors, and the teachers who are largely on public payroll, are bound to be less critical of government, than, say someone in the private sector. Which in turn will permeate those who they teach. It's in their best interest to then spread ideals which uphold their government funding.
- psychometry 10y agoWell that's...a reach. There's more to the American liberal outlook than support for government programs. I'm guessing you didn't read the article; you might want to do that first and attempt a more substantial comment later.
- jessaustin 10y agoIf there were "more to the American liberal outlook than support for government programs", a thoughtful ("substantial"?) comment would have given us some examples of such, and then related those examples somehow to the proposition under discussion. Your comment, instead, amounts to "RTFA!"
- vegancap 10y agoYes I did read the whole article, I'm not going to write a rebuttal for each and every point it makes, just to quell your patronising remarks. Telling me to 'make a more substantial comment later' apart from being pretty rude, doesn't actually discredit the point I made about public education being intrinsically skewed in favour of where its funding originates.
