My only agenda in college was to challenge peoples' ideas. I thought that was what college was about?

Certainly most of my professors were great educators and did a good job of encouraging an open learning environment without dominating it with their personal views. But there were enough that idealogically bullied students that I took notice. Not only were these bullies never held accountable for their intellectual dishonesty, they tended to be the ones to win recognition from their department and national awards and such. That set off alarm bells in my head that this kind of teaching seemed to be encouraged, not discouraged.
