“Academic freedom really means freedom of inquiry. To be able to probe according to one’s own interest, knowledge and conscience is the most important freedom the scholar has, and part of that process is to state its results.”

Yet it is the results that are censored and cheery picked to sway the masses according to corporate and private interest.

Academic freedom would also indicate truth is readily available as a choice. The occult seminaries of the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land (government schools) slant a few truths (math, reading, etc.) to believe a bigger lie (socialism as a religion, a non-recognizable history, politics of slaves, economics of the down-trodden, etc.). True knowledge differs from accumulated information and data. A conscience is generally a good thing unless seared on the spit of immorality and otherwise falsehoods.

There's a big difference between academic freedom and 'education.'  The public school indoctrination programs have been extended to the university and even into corporate America that hires these graduates.  The PC culture and regulation of thought and speech is rampant in corporations today, particularly those that do not produce any food or durable goods.  Propaganda is big business!!  And a very easy business to skim money from multi-billion dollar campaigns.  The media companies can charge whatever the market will bear, far above the cost of doing business.  It is a racket within a racket within a racket.  The average Joe has no concept of how much their 'education' has been to keep them in their place.
