What amazes us is that parents all over the world are literally paying thousands of dollars in college tuition so that their sons and daughters can be taught the "truth" that there is no truth, not to mention other self-defeating postmodern assertions such as: 8220;All truth is relative" {Is that a relative truth?}; " There are no absolutes" {Are you absolutely sure?}; and, "It's true for you but not for me!" {Is that statement true just for you, or is it true for everyone?} "True for you but not for me" may be the mantra of our day, but it's not how the world really works. Try saying that to your bank teller, the police, or the IRS and see how far you get! Of course these modern mantras are false because they are self-defeating. But for those who still blindly believe them, we have a few questions: If there really is no truth, then why try to learn anything? Why should any student listen to any professor? After all, the professor doesn't have the truth. What's the point of going to school, much less paying for it? And what's the point of obeying the professor's moral prohibitions against cheating on tests or plagiarizing term papers?
