Liberal Quotes (535 Quotes)


    Be composed--be at ease with me--I am Walt Whitman, liberal and lusty as Nature, Not till the sun excludes you do I exclude you, Not till the waters refuse to glisten for you and the leaves to rustle for you, do my words refuse to glisten and rustle for you.

    This is yet another in a series of attacks on the religious traditions on which our nation was founded.

    Education Many believe our entire public-education establishment is going in exactly the wrong direction.

The liberal educational theoreticians tell you that bad grades only serve to discourage underachievers. The primary objective of Outcome-Based Education is to avoid humiliating a student.

The liberal school establishment lowers standards, ignores human nature, refuses to reward success and doesn't punish failure.
