Professors increasingly are judged reputable by society because they have been judged to be superior by their peers. They are not successful in the real world, nor have their theories on social change met with success when tested (the best example of this being that the end result of liberalism, socialism or communism, both colossal failures). Neither have their peers been similarly tested. This results in the liberal group think that college students are baptized in today. As one of my economics professors stated “How can you blame them, most have never been out in the real world.”

What hooey. It appears your economics professor is the one who needs to get out in the world.

In the law schools, the professors generally are past litigators, and in almost all cases I know, practicing or formerly practicing lawyers who put their mettle to the test often in courtrooms.

In the business schools, the professors work with the world’s leading corporations and other organizations on the toughest problems. Their work is tested in the marketplace. It’s rare to find someone in a business school who doesn’t have years of experience.

In political science, the professors are most often campaign consultants, at a minimum — many are veterans of the hard political wars in the trenches, in campaigns as front line managers, in legislatures, in government.

Economics professors are rather protected. They may be the exception.

Liberalism’s end product should be a good education, and according to economic theory propounded by the very conservative Chicago School, should result in liberty.

What country are you living in? Come to America, see the facts for yourself. The picture you paint is not one of America. It’s much different here.

I disagree that socialism and communism are the “end products” of liberalism. They are extreme forms of it, not an extension of it. I wouldn’t call fascism or theocracy “end products” of conservativism, although they are forms of it. Liberal republicanism is an end unto itself, not an evolutionary step.
