First off, I'm no fan of the ivory tower. I find many "experts" to be uneducated in how things actually work, and the students (c.f. Hahvard and Stanford) even more pedantic and cock-sure.
That said, however...
There are a lot of good and fair professors in state-sponsored schools, or at least at the Unversity of California. Not all of them are political yes-people, I've met some really intelligent and truly tolerant folks since I've been there.
Certainly there is some degree of bias in the post-modern anti-establishment critique mode that is popular these days, but some degree of wisdom still exists in those that can truly teach. In the world of the true teacher (well in the soft subjects, anyway) there should be no "right" answers, just supported and unsupported arguments, if you understand that distinction.
