“kids go to college and come back liberal” haha you’re right it’s almost as if the combination of education & exposure to hundreds of world views affects your opinions. if i were you i wouldn’t be proud of your son who dropped out & just votes for the most racist candidate, karen.]

how come conservative students think they’re smarter than professors with doctorates and shit

conservative students swear that every university professor is some radical leftist with an agenda when usually it’s a professor that just uses critical thinking skills, context, and has empathy

if you swear all the professors you encounter are wrong, it might actually be that your opinions are outdated, bigoted, and incorrect lmao

A response by telegantmess

This is actually the reason behind the popular notion within conservative circles that universities have a “liberal bias.”

Consistently, conservative students will leave higher ed because they perceive critical thinking, self-critique, and open discussion as attacks on their selfhood, rather than as a process of refining ideas and arguments. All of their accusations about how the people who disagree with them are just “too sensitive” are nothing more than projection, because they [sic] very idea that they should question their own assumptions is something they believe would only make them weak.]
