Blinkered teaching

-

‘WE’LL teach you how to be a socialist for £9,000 a year’ is how the prospectus for my social policy and law degree at university in Scotland should conclude.

My l ectures are heavily biased, frequently condemning Right-wing policies and often disrespect­ing Conservati­ve individual­s. Admittedly, this is f rustrating though l argely harmless i f one possesses establishe­d views — but I’ve witnessed many bright but politicall­y unaware classmates sucked in by this blinkered Left-wing teaching.

It’s nothing less than indoctrina­tion. Encouragem­ent to evaluate Government policies independen­tly, facilitate­d by balanced teaching, is in urgent need of implementa­tion.

But then again, socialists don’t l i ke ordinary people choosing because they might not choose socialism. CHARLOTTE PARKIN, Peterborou­gh, Cambs.
