Neo-conservatism and the conflicts about literal education in American universities
Since 1980s, liberal (or general) education in American university is facing with more and more heartless attacks coming from the right-wings or neo-conservatism, and this also causing the libertarians and left-wings strong rebound. As a result, a phenomenon named "culture war" also emerged in the field higher education. Though new conservatism is not in domain position of American intellectual circles , under the present specific social background of U.S.A., the influence that Bush of government prone to obviously conservatism exerts in the field of education can't be neglected. The educational spirit of liberal(or general) education which is still in domain position is also difficult to keep itself in American university.
