Some people put professors on a pedestal, but they can be just as narrow-minded and political as anyone else.

They can become narrow minded, perhaps more so once they gain tenure. And there are some who don't mind using their classrooms and departments as a tool of indoctrination. I think the result of using schools for indoctrination rather than education can be seen in how so few are willing to challenge the entire "blood in the streets" mantra. Despite all the evidence to the contrary.

That's troubling oohrah. When I was in college back in the stone age, when there was a highly charged issue our profs would challenge us to go research the topic and take the emotion out of it. I think Charles Cook wrote about the "blood in the streets" claim and pretty much debunked it. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/41 ... un-streets One would hope people in an institute of "higher learning" might be able to do a bit of research and dig up some fact prior to forming an opinion instead of forming an opinion then looking for the facts only if challenged.

So what is the deadline for the concurrence vote on HB910? Some are saying, since the Senate made changes, it has to be tonight. Somehow that doesn't sound right to me. What's the true scoop on that?

Never mind. I found out. Carry on.
