And as for your nonsense about "murdering all the lefties" as compared to "capital punishment is immoral," the comparison is absurd, and you deserve to be hit with a stupid stick. Capital punishment is a contentious issue that deserves its place in any ethics, sociology, or even public policy class. A good professor will fully disclose their biases, as opposed to muting them. A good professor will have open and frank debate within the class, allowing all sides to be heard. But expecting a professor to be silent and not give their educated opinions on the subject they specialize in, all because you have some retarded anti-government, utopian perspective on hoe college campuses run, is ridiculous.[/b]

I'm aware of the fact about publishing. I was speaking about what they should teach in the classroom.

So then, if the majority of philosophy teachers taught that Objectivism is correct, you would not have a problem with that?

What if the teachers graded you based on your opinions?

Again, look to the evidence, and then look to those who testified. Were the professors calling for a Maoist revolution? Were they calling for government seizure and collectivization of property? No. Were they telling females to have abortions and foresake God? No. The fact is, we don't know WHAT crimes thse liberal demons commited. All we know is that a bunch of kids feel discriminated against. This is certainly worth investigating, and if ANY professors personal biases towards INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS led them to grade them differently, they must be canned. But blaming this on liberalism on campus would be like blaming my speeding ticket on conservatism in the police department (I DO have that Nader 2000 bumper sticker, after all).

Taxation is an act of the government seizing and collecting property. In any case, you miss the point: is it moral for the government to hire people with my money that I disagree with?

I'm talking about the faculty.

In that case, I don't understand where you are coming from. While I have not, per say, been to college, I have been looking at colleges' and their professors' websites. My conclusions? Faculity at public universities tend to be more liberal, while faculity at private colleges lean more towards pro-market stances. I generally do not see conservativism in civil rights stances, although opposition to such things as Affirmative Action is more commonplace.

Example of a libertarian college (at least economically)? George Mason University, a well-respected Virginia institution. They even have an anarcho-capitalist in their midst.
