sw33t -“I’ve never gone to graduate school, but i would imagine everything is relative to what the student is studying?
As in, if the student is getting a phD in middle easter studies, clearly they will have ideas pushed on them..
But what about an MS in accounting, an MBA, a ST/OT/PT degree…
Those are school experiences where you just go to class, learn, study, graduate and get a job. no outside ideas.
unless I’m mistaken???”
Yes, you are very mistaken. As a matter of fact, the brainwashing (or whatever it is -because it’s not sublimal) in BY’s is expected. E/o knows what goes on with regards to Kollel and being a teacher forever. So if this philosophy doesn’t agree with you -go elsewhere. There are plenty of MO schools around.
But in college it’s much worse. When I went to secular college, not when I went to Touro, I was subjected to the Prof. constant brainwashing (opinion – if you don’t like the brainwashing word) about Woman’s lib. All the reading was geared towards that. I highly doubt if s/o openly voiced a contrary opinion they would have passed her class.
Don’t you know Pres Bush (Pres at that time) is an evil man because he doesn’t believe in abortion? So either you pretended to be with her to survive or many probably started thinking like this because they couldn’t think for themselves. This is Not what college courses should be, but unfortunately a lot are like this.
