The challenge for modern and future students is to find the professors at their institutions who don't indoctrinate, who take scholarship/teaching seriously, and who are committed to education. Opting out of a school is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Having said that, some colleges/universities make non-politicized education an easier task for students than others. I prefer institutions where a student doesn't have to work too hard to avoid the useless professors. I don’t know of a university system that is indoctrinating, or even politicized, in its entirety.
