    I met so many conservative rural people who were convinced that universities were just liberal indoctrination centers. Never put two brain cells together that by being around other people from different backgrounds and cultures you learn to respect those differences - you know - liberal values.

      And being forced to back up your arguments with actual evidence, not whatever idiocy your friends and social media are telling you.

          No, evidence is evidence. Not all things are a debate between two or more legitimate interpretations.

          Saying “climate change is real and caused by humans” or the “sky is blue” are statements of fact, and not up for debate.
