The CONSERVATIVES are the rebels in today's society
The Democrats are often considered the rebels in society. However, in the current college generation, this has taken a turn to the right. The rebels in today's society are the outspoken young Republicans. The college environment that has developed is lined with liberal propaganda. By definition, a rebel is one who goes against what the environment around them is pushing them to do. The teachers in our education system, and the mainstream media are pushing the children and young adults to conform to their liberal way of thinking.
The teachers in our education system from elementary school on up favor liberal ways of thinking. Perhaps one of the strongest demographics for the democrats is the teachers union vote. However, if they were able to keep their views to themselves, that would not be a problem. This is not the case. All across the country, Republican students who speak out their views in the classroom are getting discriminated against. It happened to me in high school on more than one occasion. I have witnessed it happen numerous times in college as well.
The former president of the College Republicans Case chapter was intending on majoring in Political Science. His teacher was a very opinionated professor who attacked George W. Bush's stance on the war in Iraq on a daily basis. About halfway through the course, he spoke up to defend our president and his own beliefs. His grades shortly after this dropped from A's to F's. Similar things began to occur in other classes. He was forced to switch majors shortly after.
One other fine example of the liberal leanings in the education system is their approach towards religious issues. Rather than take a neutral stance and introduce a diverse gathering of ideas, they choose the scientific, atheist approach. One fine example of this is the origin of man. Evolution is taught in high schools across the country. Only a small handful of states even do as much as suggest intelligent design as a possibility. Once again, a belief of many in the conservative movement is being attacked.
The most significant source of liberal pressure is the media. Even the most liberal minds would admit the left leaning tendencies of mass media. Irresponsible story selection and spin is something that has occurred since the dawn of mass media. Story selection is where the media picks and chooses what stories they cover based what is best for their political interests. This occurs a lot on networks like CNN and MSNBC. The most recent example of this is the media’s definite bias towards the democrat Trojan Horse, John McCain. Mitt Romney won Wyoming and Nevada by epic proportions. The media wrote it off as no big deal. Mitt Romney won Michigan by a large margin. The media blew it off as a home state win despite the fact that he hasn’t lived there in 40 years. John McCain won New Hampshire and South Carolina with the help of independents, and the media paints him as the Republican favorite.
There is pressure from many aspects of society for the children and young adults of America today to conform to liberal thinking. Doing so, is conforming to what everyone wants you to do. While many liberal thinkers consider themselves rebels, this is clearly not the case. A rebel is one who goes against societal pressures; the true rebels are the CONSERVATIVES who stand up against the liberalism that surrounds them.
