I go back to the index to see where the second ammendment is discussed, it's only on two pages with very little discussion in the WHOLE book. Realy?! I then look up "gun control" in the index of my textbook and it has five pages. Discussing whether gun control is good or bad, it says to make the conclusion yourself and get involved...... Anyone's elses textbook or course like this?
This really worries me.

I have had courses like that. The entire purpose of college training is to indoctrinate you into a set mode of thinking--universities and colleges do not I don't think by nature encourage free thought, or free speech, and they certainly do not tend to promote the exercise of your other Constitutionally protected rights--the student whose professor called the police on him after he exercised his Constitutionally protected First Amendment right when he advocated for allowing Concealed carry on college campuses http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/forum64/22431.html
is but one example.
It is not about "education", it is about indoctrination. That is the sad fact of education today.

For the lefty profs, maybe.
For the college boards of directors, it's about making mad cash via the path of least resistance. Crank out diplomas, take that grant money and those subsidized student loans, and stuff that bank account.
For the students, it's about getting that piece of paper that you need to get a job, regardless of whether you actually learned anything or not.

While they go over all the other civil liberties in great detail except the 2nd ammendment. man o man someone just posted that they thing the 2nd ammendment is most at risk yet they agree with outlawing hollow points and "armor piercing bullets", 6 month waiting period on every gun, no private gun sales, limiting magazine capacity and registering every firearm and ballistics in a national database. WOW  I have a long semester ahead of me....

This is why I'm dropping out of my bachelor degree and either going to a tech school or getting an associates degree since I don't want to be a doctor or lawyer, I don't want to be in debt over books.
