I agree. The schools, especially at the university level, are invested* with socialists. Like the Liberal media, they do not reflect society.* Infested? LOL!

Schools are generally moving away from liberal arts. Universities are the repository of the nations brightest, business types and liberals. Don't forget it's young idealistic persons with no life experience who mostly attend university and once they get out into the real world their attitudes usually change. But I personally think we need a stronger emphasis on liberal arts. I know quite a few conservative speech writers and they all (the ones I know) have huge liberal backgrounds. There's always two sides to every story, and a liberal education hones the capacity for critical thinking, something that is essential for life in the modern world. It's true the media has a tendency toward liberal viewpoints, but that's all a product of higher education, it's the liberal thinkers that mostly want to paint and write and create. Maybe there's something to ponder about that. Higher education -- liberal thinking. hmmmmm what does it mean.
