And has this been a problem throughout human history, or is the assumption that learning to debate and accept win or loss is no longer the name of the game?

I am not aware of the history of academic freedom for students. Having listened to Horowitz in the past the crux of the current problem revolves mainly around literature, history, and sociology. Many say this is a wide spread problem with some glaring example popping up from time to time. For instance a student refuting a revisionist history professor’s point of view and not only receiving failing grade but sometimes academic censure.

Common sense tells me that this probably was the case as you state throughout human history. In light of the leftist majority in a academia today it is logical that it would follow that the censure would come from a leftist point of view. Changes in ideological temperament within academia throughout history would indicate the political point of view of the academic majority.

More or less. :)
