Conservatives say they just want their side of the story told. [View all]

I've heard numerous conservatives complain about universities and public schools having a liberal bias and not teaching the conservative side of the story. I say they can tell their side when their side of the story begins to conform to facts. Sorry, Creationism does not count as fact and should not be taught alongside evolution. The Civil War was fought over slavery and you don't get the teach your revisionist view that it was fought over State's rights in public schools. Oh, and the U.S. was not founded on Christianity, so quit trying to push that myth on people.

Finally, on the topic of only telling one side of the story. Why does it seem that the majority of economics teachers preach Supply Side Friedman style economics and will rarely mention the use of Keynesian economics to address our problems?
