Letter: Allow students to have own thoughts

There have been 44 transfers of power in the United States and we have been admired for this tradition by most of the countries in the world. Now we have a chance for another smooth transfer, but we see the liberals raising Cain because they were defeated at the polls.

College professors keep calling for more diversity in the universities and colleges. Then they go ballistic over the election of Donald Trump. I guess they want 'diversity” only on their terms; diversity of thought is taboo. To allow students to have their own thoughts on politics or who is to run our country is not part of their thought process.

I received my bachelor of science in electrical engineering degree 63 years ago and was allowed my own thinking on any subject I sought out. Of course most of my course work was in the scientific and engineering fields where there were few chances for the professors to inject their biases. How do you influence political thought in thermodynamics? I don't remember liberal bias in the required liberal arts courses. What has happened in the ensuing years?

Now we have to have play-dough breaks because the political winds are blowing in directions they don't like.
