Definitely more on the ball politics wise than my friends and I were.

I do agree that each generation becomes more able to think for themselves but there is no denying that there is a tide of left-wing academics in our education system influencing the young and that is unacceptable. Look at all the nonsence going on in universities such as 'safe space' with youngsters being wrapped up in cotton wool allegedly being 'protected' against everyday aspects of general life.

Many may change their views on some things with more life experience but it does feel that the naivety and vulnerability of the young is being taken advantage of.

I doubt that the majority are left wing. The majority are anti-tory. Obviously theyre anti-tory, they're academic.
