On the other hand, it is folly to ignore what professors are teaching, and what universities will tolerate or promote. Even if you dislike the messenger.

- allears 6y agoIt's very easy to cherry-pick one extreme statement and imply that all colleges and professors feel the same way. After all, those nasty elite liberal intellectuals are all on the Soros agenda!
- rbecker 6y agoVery true. But the only alternative to single examples are statistical studies and surveys. And hardly any news source limits themselves to that. So if we're going to accuse them of cherry-picking, we shouldn't stop with just this one story or website.
- PaulHoule 6y agoIn the Old Testament there was a temple with a circular pit that was 10 cubits across and 30 cubits around. A sensible person would say the ancient Hebrews did not know as much about math as the ancient Greeks. If you think the bible is infallible then you have some contradictions to resolve, maybe you build a hexagonal pit at your temple or maybe the pit had 10^14 kg of neutronium in it, or legislate that pi=3.
