You don't think it's possible that those students could have come out of school with a leftist view anyway? One needs to take into account several things - socioeconomic situations, political leanings of society in general, current policies and their relation to prominent issues - to be able to fully understand why the "vast majority" or students leave school with such a view.
I'm not denying the bias in saying all of that, but I still think it needs to be considered.

I think bias is acceptable in schools - after all, considering the general class of people who become teachers, it is fair to assume they will be left-leaning.
Bias will certainly have an effect on those students who are unthinking and willing to accept anything, but those who rise above the bias will form their own opinions - these are the people of value, and they are only made stronger in their fight to overcome any left bias.

And the media is shit. Hopefully people will learn to stop believing everything they read and think for themselves.

But perhaps I am putting too much faith in the human race.
