      As a Canadian i think there’s a little confusion here because the roles universities play are a bit different here vs the US. I went to uni and I don’t remember extremely biased teachings myself, and I studied economics.

      I’m only very slightly familiar with the Babylon bee as parody kind of like the onion or hard times, but I’m not very familiar with their actual leanings.

        My university had extremely biased teachings. Never once did they present me with alternative physics. And in the humanities they made me stay on topic and provide well reasoned evidence for whatever position I took.

          Good to know, that makes a lot of sense. I hadn’t seen them in years so I had forgotten. Thanks for the clarification!

        When you talk about American conservatives, you’re talking about people to whom everything to the left of a church collection plate is communist

        A college education is increasingly becoming the political dividing line in the US so the right is trying to degrade trust in the university and education in general.
