I don't know if anything similar has happened in Europe, but this is a very real problem here in the United States. We let our court system become so liberalized that the liberals here were able to sue to force government to do pretty much whatever they want, and now require the teaching of Macroevolution, Abortion, and Homosexual role models[http://content.usatoday.com/communities/Religion/post/2011/07/gay-rights-california-jerry-brown-education/1] in public classrooms. All of this has occurred just over the past 4 decades or so, and is contrary to what our nation used to be like. As a result, the majority of our nation is much more socially conservative and is opposed to this takeover of our government to support a single partisan side. | | :::::::Alright, that's fine.

Democrats can essentially control the institutions through government subsidies and the courts. It's just a bad system that's cropped up. | | :::::::One reason educational centers tend to be biased is that we have a Department of Education here which controls them all.[http://www.ed.gov/] I don't know if England has one, but here it tends to be very liberal and governed by court decisions as well.
