Its not about education.

Its about indoctrination. Truth and accuracy are generally speaking not the concern of Higher education. Nowadays its about a pervailing view of society and shaping a Future generation to build and devlop that society. Generally the program is about some kind of Utopian plan. As follows anything that suggests even in the slightest tone to the contrary is not acceptable. Thats in part why the Mid east depts. are of such importance to the folks who believe in the Utopian program. Its of little concern to them if whats being taught is accurate. What's important is the objective.
