“Professor: noun. a person who professes something; esp., one who openly declares his sentiments, religious beliefs, etc” - yourdictionary.com.
It‘s my belief non-science college Professors are probably liberals, which would mean non-science college graduates are only half educated--they will be missing the “other sides.” However, to be fair, probably any graduate who has taken ‘extra’ science and math courses should be considered a little above the half educated mark. It would be interesting to do some research on the percentage of Professors falling into non-science categories, vs. math and science, but it would be too time consuming, and not meaningful for the point I want to share. But I would guess it’s more than half, which is just an educated estimation: mine. And, it appears to me, the primal cause for the left skewed non-science education trends is most likely aberrant physiology--ironically, a science.
Based upon the definition of Professor, given above, which I had no part in formulating, you’ll notice that it points to those who profess their ‘sentiments’ and ‘religious beliefs, etc’, i.e., it’s all non-science stuff. Of course there are other definitions of Professor: “teacher of high rank”, or “senior academic holding a departmental chair”, which are really co-definitions of nothing. The basic difference is, math and science are taught by ‘instructors’, those who ‘instruct and show’ students how something is done, or works, or operates, within those subjects that are math or science based, which disallow professed sentiments. Moreover, math and science instructors educate by teaching established laws and acceptable theories and axioms. You don’t hear math instructors talking about liberal slopes or conservative tangents, unless they're referring to some aspect of economics. Also, science and math instructors only ‘borrow’ the title Professor since they are not allowed to profess; but they do want to feel comfortable around the Professors in their work environment.
Those Professors, or rather ‘Expressors’, who are fooling students, and many government intellectuals, in the pseudo-science field of economics, you know, the socialist science subject that analyzes the production, distribution, wealth redistribution, and consumption of good and services, can be overheard expounding on illusive ‘theories and beliefs’, and expressing them to be either conservative or liberal ideology. In general, economic expressors are just another liberal arm of the government.
The reasons economists tend to be believable, as a “science”, are because they use math processes, like calculus, and all those colorful charts. Personally, I think Will Rogers got it right, “An economist's guess is liable to be as good as anybody else's.” Economics graduates who can’t make it in academia, or government, tend to fall back on writing political opinion columns or blogs for the New York Times, or its left coast sister, the Los Angeles Times. And they, too, feel important and worthy because they have the socially established medium in which they can be Professors of their liberal opinions.
My concept of the scienceless field of ‘socialist science’ is, mainly, it’s a collection of liberally slanted opinions and sentiments about why the government should provide for and take care of the people. I say this because, unlike conservatives, who tend to want less government, avoid welfare, believe in capitalism as the American way, take charge of their circumstances whether good or bad, buy their own health insurance, and mind their own business, the liberals arrive in my mind as a bunch of pre-school kids who need constant attention and supervision, and, who want the government to provide their ‘daycare-tv' support. The liberal arts programs and socialist studies Expressors generate the ‘higher’ basis and support for today’s liberal ideology: more government, higher taxes, more welfare programs, open borders, political correctness, abortions, imported oil, and diaper change instructions, with schedules.
I find it perplexing, no, curious; wait, I meant, it’s amusing, to think that higher education is really thought to be ‘higher’ than the good common sense found in most high school graduates who get a real job, pay their taxes to help support the welfare programs for those who won’t work, raise a family, kick back with a ‘cold one’ on Friday nights, go to church on Sunday, and vote as a conservative. It’s these folks who are the real backbone of America. When things go wrong and they get slammed down, while laboring under the government’s liberal Expressor driven adversities, they do what real Americans do: they continue to get up and go to work, take care of their family and resolve personal issues by relying on close friends and family, not the government.
Here’s my point: non-science higher education Expressors are not teaching ‘complete’ subject matter but rather painting their sentiments and opinions over course subjects. Expressors don’t educate students by teaching reality, that there are always two, or more, sides to all issues. Professors write text books, and edit history; they are never lacking for subject matter to express in their lectures and tend to stick to their handy ‘book-draft’ lesson plans. I see them as basically academic politicians; they have their opinion planks, and a captive class of people they can fool. We would have a lot more conservatives if they were Instructors.
One last thought to share: all non-science expressors should be investigated for un-American involvements; and here’s why. In the little book “Making Socialists out of College Students-A Story of Professors and other Collegians Who Hobnob With Radicals”, written by Henry Woodworth Clum and published around 1920, the author provides some extensive details about high-ranking college Professors, and others, who formed the Inter-Collegiate Socialist Society, headquartered in New York City. Some of the professors mentioned were from such institutions as Ohio State University, University of Minnesota, and University of Illinois. The book lists the names of some twenty-four, or so, professors who attended the Committee of 48 conference in New York, June 24-30, 1919. I’m pointing this out because the Expressor infested socialist organizations in America at that time were so numerous. Many of the organizations withered and died, but I don’t think their ’ideas’ and socialist motivations died; and, the real havens for this kind of stuff have remained in our Universities. It certainly doesn’t originate at Joe’s Pizza Shop or McDonalds. There was the SDS, Students for a Democratic Society, in the ‘60s; and today, since 2006, there’s a new version of SDS taking roots--Oh, my, MIT Professor Noam Chomsky just slithered into my mind.
Just how entrenched this collectivist group of intellectuals is throughout higher education ought to be looked into, seriously; but I guess that would be analogous to Hitler going after Stalin because he professed to be a fascist--so it will continue to be overlooked.
