State funded blather

As a citizen of a midwestern city that is home to a major liberal arts state university, as a parent that is paying tuition for a child to attend that same university and as a taxpayer I am regularly appalled by the varied and sundry blather, misinformation and rhetoric that is foisted upon my child and other unsuspecting young minds. I'm sorry for the students that accept as fact all they hear from a professor with a personal axe to grind or, more commonly, an underpaid, undertrained, wet-behind the ears teaching assistant. As with what we all get from the modern media, the majority of what those students will hear in almost any lecture hall or classroom will more likely be editorial than straight fact. I guess they might as well get used to it.
