Colleges are the Left's Indoctrination?! So rants Rick Santorum -- who, truth be known, was educated in a combination of public and Catholic schools, with degrees from Penn State University. He practiced law before entering politics.
Interestingly, his schooldays nickname Rooster denoted in part his "defiantly confrontational nature." Read bio.
So, as a longterm Conservative who does not believe in the rights of women or gays or immigrants et al (as well as making some of the most inane remarks of any would-be Presidential candidate) I guess Mr. Santorum must be exempting himself and his education from the ridiculous idea of Democrat indoctrination.
The truly destructive thing is the nitwits who latch on to such stupidity when what we need in this country is individuals with active brains who grasp problems, employ knowledge, imagination and manage to create solutions.
Thank heavens that institutions of higher learning (such as UC San Diego, of which I am a proud administrative employee) are indeed dedicated to imparting knowledge to 25,000 students each year, as well as inculcating the abilities to benefit the country and the world.
And if these ideals do not fit within the Republican arena but rather in the broad-based mission of Progressive politics, let's hear a cheer!
Positively,
Carolan
