Actually, what Professor Michael Munger means is that liberal universities and professors are inadequately preparing liberal students for the realities of life after college by intellectually coddling them.

Duke professor: College leaves liberal students ill-equipped

A Duke professor says colleges are so left-wing that they are perpetuating ignorance and ideological bigotry.

Speaking at Milton Friedman Day in Wilmington, North Carolina, Professor Michael Munger declared that American college students face a “one-question test”: are you liberal or conservative?

“The correct answer is, ‘I’m a liberal, and proud of it.’ “That concerns me,” said Munger, who chaired Duke’s Political Science department for a decade.

Munger recalled a department chair meeting where a female professor remarked that liberal students already knew the correct answer.

“I find that I don’t really need to spend much time with the liberal students, because they already have it right,” said the professor. “I spend most of my time arguing with conservative students. That’s how I spend my time in the class.”

“It’s as if we asked students to play chess, but only taught them one-move openings,” Munger complained, though he added that conservative students “study the whole game, not just the first move.”
