I know this is a conservative encyclopedia, but the lack of neutral examples in the intro makes it sound silly.  Like the example "Censorship can also take the form of ostracizing students for expressing pro-life or other conservative views".  That example SHOULD be broadened to "Censorship can also take the form of ostracizing students for expressing ideas that conflict with their professor's ideology" because that is more the issue.  Yes, it happens to people who express conservative views, but there are also professors who have conservative viewpoints and ostracize liberal ones.  I am not going to get into a fight over this, but i do suggest changing back to my previous edit.  thanks :) --[[User:AlexanderSz|AlexanderSz]] 15:50, 4 December 2011 (EST)

:: My highschool band teacher wouldnt let us include a John Lennon song in our Christmas song medley because it "Promoted communism".  The song actually about peace and never mentions collectivism or economy or politics (beyond being pro peace).  My seventh grade History Teacher blatantly pushed pro life and pro War in Iraq ideas into 7th graders while silencing anti war arguments (granted the arguments sucked because the kids were 12 but that makes his overt political agenda all the more inappropriate).  This compared to my 10th grade history teacher who, while being a moderate liberal, always played devils advocate (i only learned of his political views through a conversation i had with him during non school hours).  in college i have not noticed anything substantial. --[[User:AlexanderSz|AlexanderSz]] 16:20, 4 December 2011 (EST)

Like I Said, I have no desire to make this into a war but I think that making the examples more universal/more accurate would benefit the quality of this website--[[User:AlexanderSz|AlexanderSz]] 16:20, 4 December 2011 (EST)
