Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to expose the bias in much of our social science research. The values and ethics of authors often influence their research procedures and results. Thus, the public gets a distorted (or unbalanced) view of important topics in marriage, sexuality, and family life. Universities have turned into institutions of liberal, secular-humanistic indoctrination and show little tolerance for conservative views on almost any topic. College classrooms have turned into battle grounds of competing ideologies where professors and students will not give the other and opportunity to speak freely and without negative repercussions.
