When I was in school I personally had no pre-existing agenda and probably would have had a hard time detecting subtle indoctrinating political bullshit from a $35,000 a year college professor anyway. Which is most likely the point, yes?
Poisoning the minds/attitudes of vulnerable children who are likely to believe them because they are teachers.
It's like mainstream media arrogantly manipulating the minds of children and dumb sheep and all the while the kids and the sheep believing it because it's on tv or in print or online, which automatically makes it true?
Sounds a little like the way propaganda works.
At what point to regular folks figure out that this may possibly be taking place?

Students who have conservative views, or are apolitical tend to clam up and try not to draw attention to themselves They just want to get the degree and move on. My nephew is in this situation, in his 2nd year at a university. He hates it, he's afraid that voicing his own dissenting view will hurt his gpa. His friends are in the same boat. I get a good laugh when he talks about some of the interctions with the flaky professors and the social justice crowd. One group of students organized a "Die-In" protest. They all lay on the ground in a public place and pretend to be the dead victims of gun violence. Its fucking nuts. He doesn't dare tell anyone that he hunts during dear season.
I think his approach still hurts him in the long run. He's not able share his own ideas and views or engage in healthy debate with other students or professors without it becoming confrontational .
