Nope. I put it down to their lack of basic intellegence and inability to function in the "real world" driving them to become academics. "Social science" is "soft science". It's like the law. It's not rational, it just is the way it is, and thinking frequently changes. For example, when I was in undergrad in the 1980's, things which were considered gospel then are now considered to be quite suspect. Reality hasn't changed, what's changed is the perceptions of the faculty.

Being a student of the social sciences, your ignorance on the subject is simply amazing to me; which also makes it very difficult to understand your point of view, let alone your justifications.
Your opinion of "political indoctrination" is just that. Professors teaching kids the bare facts that happen to collide with their parent-taught conservative point of view is not indoctrination. It all comes down to what (I think) roachboy said about the basic difference in political ideology:
conservatives enjoy the status-quo and liberals constantly seek to disrupt it. Why else would we be debating legislation silencing controversial speech in classrooms? If a teacher blatantly docks grades due to a students political views then that teacher should be held responsible and face the consequences, simple as that. But what we don't need is a law forbidding political and religious discussion in classrooms. How would we even monitor and enforce laws like this anyway?
