Is Higher Education Too Liberal?
Date: 10/23/2007

Alan Keyes, Republican politician and 2008 presidential candidate, addresses the topic “Is Higher Education too liberal.” Keyes argues that higher education is neither too liberal nor too conservative. According to Keyes, the problem lies deeper than partisan bias but results from the success of modern science. Keyes discusses the inability of science to address personal faith and belief in life’s greater meaning. He also examines the evolution and manipulation of the definition of freedom and liberty. During the question and answer session, Keyes addresses the Republican Party’s historical disconnect to the black community and the place of separation of church and state in today’s society.
