I was referring to the specific quotation you cited. I dont know enough about his beliefs in general. He may think as you suggest. But it's not what he said there.

And therefore teaching people to think critically is dangerous, because it leads them to challenge religious authority. But perhaps I am putting words in his mouth. Chuck

>> Chuck, believe me, I have no fondness for Santorum. But I don't understand how you get from what he said to suggesting that he is against people learning to think for themselves. If anything, he is suggesting the opposite, that good people don't need professors for answers. It is also easy to see how people who don't participate in the liberal arts learning experience might be alienated by that genre of professing, which is determinedly what American's call progressive (and the rest of the world calls centrist). This from the proud/poor dad of a daughter in Amherst and a daughter in Smith.
