The only counter-point to all this obvious indoctrination (I see it in my liberal arts classes, it happens) I can see would be that Students are "indoctrinated" in neoliberalism because Economics professors are overwhelmingly liberal (I include Keynesian economics under "liberal"). Anyone in a microeconomics course will see that free markets create better standards of living than centrally planned, socialist economies.
Unfortunately, Americans are not that individualist.
Most happily surrender their individuality to join the crowd of people patting each other on the shoulder, saying, "You're one of us. You're a good guy, not like those..."
Especially on campuses.
And Americans are such scarity cats. So scared of being called a racist or an islamophobe, of losing face, career, reputation.
So if I want to look at truly brave people, I either watch something about American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, or about students in Iran standing up against the regime. But inside the coutry people are absolute scarity cats. This is how leftist garbage, postmodernism, multiculturalism, and eventually Islamism has crept in; not because people approved it, but because people were afraid to speak out.
Let me give you just one example. (from Steven Emerson's book "The American House of Saud"):
When a new airport was about to open in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which would service pilgrims going to Mecca, the Saudis offered an American airline company an exclusive contract for the entire Western hemisphere. But there was a condition: everyone on board had to be a Muslim.
So the company gathers all pilots and stewards that would be on board and tells them, "You are all converting to Islam! If you don't, you'll be laid off!"
And they all did.
Freedom of religion, my ass! Americans licking those Arab behinds.
It is so sad to see how in America, like everywhere else, totalitarianism is about to triumph because too many people are too scared.
