(I don't mean the Prof. as a pejorative.)
I think I agree with most of what you said. You are exactly right about knowledge and learning making the student free, hence "liberal education." I'm not as sure what you mean by there cannot be non-politicized education, but I have an idea.
I don't think higher education is about "raising students consciences" and inciting them to political action. In that sense it doesn't have to be politicized. Education should serve the purpose of instilling a civic-mindedness and responsibility as you said. If that is what you mean by politicized then I agree.
