Some would argue that a healthy tension between the student body and a university administration, embodied through an active student union, student government, and campus clubs, is necessary to keep intellectual and political debate rigorous. However, when professors start to pierce that veil of objectivity representing part of the college administration and leave their teaching role to further a political aim, students are done a disservice.

The conservative think tanks and institutions are busily configuring lesson plans, compilations of texts, and other educational materials to make it easier for professors with conservative leanings to pressure students into learning a certain version of events.
