OLSEN: Dangers of academia's 'indoctrination mills'

OLSEN: Dangers of academia's 'indoctrination mills' - Washington Times
For decades, conservatives have documented and criticized how liberal ideology runs rampant throughout higher education. Hence William F. Buckley’s famous quip from the 1960s:
“I’d rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.”
Fifty years later, few conservatives would disagree.
But could the problem be getting worse?
The Pew Research Center released a study in December showing that more Americans age 18 to 29 have a favorable view of socialism over capitalism.
In fact, this demographic has a net positive view of socialism (49 percent positive to 43 percent negative) and net negative view of capitalism (46 percent positive and 47 percent negative).
