Engaged Citizenship

I think it is totally appropriate for colleges to teach their students about engaged citizenship. However, the approach on their method of teaching that should be reviewed carefully. Teaching anything political should be taught in an agnostic manner where each side of a view is exposed. In this way, students can form an opinion on their own as opposed to the class shaping their view.

Colleges also have a right to choose the appropriate subjects in which they think a student should be equipped with when they graduate. For example, USF has their core curriculum which includes some classes that other schools may not have. In USF's case they require a theology course since they are a Jesuit university.

Although academics is the primary reason for going to college, street smarts should be taught as well in an unbiased way.
