Their agenda clear now?

So, the opinion show of Fox and Friends. Has decided to discuss some unnamed study that going to 4 years of college makes you more liberal. They are saying its because professors are pushing their own liberal bias and that schools employ only liberal professors, and this translates into them rubbing off and being a bit more liberal. And to quote... they ask "How do with fix this?" !?!? First of all... I'm a little put back at the boldness of the statements they were making in the video. I mean... It says a lot about what they really want. They're saying that people shouldn't go to college because you'll become a dumb liberal? Uhm... I'm sure that's why... or maybe they're using that as a reason to keep you from going to school and actually learning something... learning critical thinking? Learning how logic works... learning how if a=b and b=c, then a=c EVERY TIME! Learn to develop your own opinion, and be exposed to many different cultures and people, because government funded schools are required to admit an ethnically diverse student body. In fact it sounds to me like they like to keep their audience uneducated and dumb... so they'll believe and act solely on the agenda they put forth. I mean... the proles were an excellent work force, keeping the party in power and able to do whatever they wanted. They just needed to throw a bone or two every now and again. I have to say... I think our education system is failing... on the basis that at the very minimum, high schools should be teaching Critical Thinking and Ethics classes at least in 10th grade.
