Yes, I did. The second article only had one page available. The first was only one brief page.

You posted these articles in response to my question:

"Are all so-called increases in 'liberalism' (no matter where and when they occur) due to increases in education?"

How do they answer this?

They show that college students become more liberal as they progress through their education.

I'm not conceding that they do what you say--but that is a different answer to a different question.

This is what's known as "denial."

No one is denying the correlation of increased education to an enhancement of self-reported liberalism in your studies. You've failed to show that education actually causes one to become more liberal.

I absolutely showed that education causes an increase in liberalism. If it was a self-selection thing students wouldn't be becoming more liberal from freshman year to senior year.

Do the studies say that? Or is this your guess?

Read them again. Slowly. Sound out the words if you must.
