Obama has been as close to Facism as we've come in a long time.
and with indoctrination centers like Universities and "news" stations like MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN. they try to block out all dissent and vilify all opposition wit out any facts. they are in bed with the government and are pretty much an arm of the democratic party.

but no we wont be Fascists because luckily we have had citizen revolts like the tea party pushing for smaller less totalitarian goverment. and we have news stations that actually show both sides of isssues like FOX news instead of being spoon fed what this administration tells them, they actually are fair in providing both sides

And you want to be taken seriously (regarding the part in italics)? As for the underlined, anti-intelectualism is one of the first symptoms of an iminent dictatorship.

Calling for academics in colleges and universities to stop indoctrinating their students into a particular political ideology is not "anti-intellectualism" or "anti-academic"

It seems to me like it's just propaganda meant to create a negative view of academia, and ultimately promote anti-intelectualism. The same accusations were brought against intellectuals in all countries that eventually became dictatorships (they're "indoctrinating" students), including my own. Please tell me what exactly is this political ideology in which students are being indoctrinated in.


Political bias in Universities (at least US universties) is widely accepted actually.  It's something that was actually directly taught in my sociology of buisness class... by a leftwing guy actually.

In general

Right Wing biased fields tend to be Math, Economics and Buisness.

Left Wing biased fields tend to be... everything else.

Most of the time you don't write papers based on the facts, but based on your professors opinions.

I made it a habit of acing all my classes from highschool on just based on analyzing my teacher and writing papers that fit perfectly with their views.

Here is a quick link about one study.  http://www.dailypennsylvanian.com/node/39861

 

Economics interestingly leftwing here... though it may have to do with the selection of the schools, as there are some schools that cater exclusivly to keynsian ideas still.
