Rhetorical Question of the Day
The RW'ers want to promote 'academic freedom' in universities. They say they want to get rid of the VLWC that supposedly exists in our nation's schools.

But, the RW'ers also say there is a 'liberal' bias in the media. Why is there no RW push to make the media fair and balanced? Why isn't the Right instituting some kind of FAIRNESS DOCTRINE in the Media?

1. Because they know that liberal media myth is just that--a big ol'
myth that serves their purposes quite well.

What is the VLWC?

Oh and right wingers don't like the money involved in teaching, so until they do, this won't change. This is where putting money above their ideologies hurts them.

2. 'Vast Left Wing Conspiracy'
The myth that all the college professors are out to turn college students, like myself, into Communists.

5. It Really Burns Conservatives Up
To know that the more educated and intelligent you are, the more liberal you are likely to be. Thus, education in general and college in particular is bad because it creates liberals.

It would be sort of like if liberals demanded more "fairness" and "representation" in trailer parks where guys named Cletus fuck their cousins.

It's not our fault that educated people tend to be liberal any more than it's their fault that people named Cletus who fuck their cousins in trailer parks tend to be Republicans.
