I believe you an I are speaking on two different plains. The philosophy on campus is the philosophy of most under 35. Where did that philosophy come from? Answer: our schools and universities. So when you speak of the "public" remember the public is not homogenous, both demographic and geographic. But also the greatest distinction between one group and the other is on our university campuses.
The public opinion has very little impact, if any, as to what is taught. Why do you see what you see happening today on our school campuses. Anyone speaking against illegal immigration is attacked both physically and philosophically. We don't have must input at all. Sure maybe at a grade school level, but even there it is limited. When you get to the university level it's basically 'you don't like what we are teaching or doing, then get out'. It's that black and white. And don't think that funding will hold sway over this philosophy. People holding the purse strings are getting exactly what they want. Ask George Soros why his organization ANSWER recruits from the university campuses.
