When colleges ‘re-educate’

The Issue: Colleges that subject incoming students to ideologically tilted “orientation” programs.

Freshman indoctrination focusing on date rape and other articles of liberal faith has long been endemic (“Brainwashing U,” Robert Shibley, PostOpinion, Aug. 25).

The worst offending institutions (Hamilton, as noted) also happen to recruit radicals to lecture on campus or join the faculty.

The “indoctrination” underway at America’s colleges is just another example of how the left is trying to control the nation’s youth.

It’s bad enough that most colleges are liberal and try to brainwash their students into thinking like they do, but to get to them when they least expect it — at freshman orientation — is a new low,.

My college experience was not far off from Shibley’s article.

My college professors preached that America was a bully, all drugs should be legalized, illegal immigrants were all honest and hard-working, multiculturism trumped assimilation, anyone pro-life was a sexist bigot, anyone who was Republican was a racist, social justice was needed to balance our society and George W. Bush was the devil.
