Academic Bias

Academic bias is having teachers or professors that are republican or democrat who try to persuade or convince the students to choose there side. The majority of the professors do lean to the liberal side but the students are not listening. College students have there own opinions and no teacher can persuade them, because of there intellect and wisdom as adults. I for one cannot be persuaded to pick a side because i know where i stand. One person has proposed an academic bill of rights that trys to abolish the bias with professors. That is very insulting to students, they feel that we dont have minds to think on our own. They think that we are going to be brainwashed by liberal and conserative professors into believing there beliefs. When i have professors talking about issues and where they stand i am not quick to believe them. i am an adult and intellegent college student that can make my own mind. Isnt colege about thinking and making your qwn mind when it comes to issues.
