I have an MS and Ph.D. from there and it is bad, but not limited there. I’ve had lively debates where I taught (at another Big Ten university) and they cannot believe I’m a conservative economist. However, if you ever try to engage them in reasoned debate, when they finally see they are boxed in, they say: “Well...that may be, but I don’t believe it!” and they get up and leave. It’s like trying to reason with bean bag.
Why can’t you just empathize with the bean bag. You conservatives have no feelings, nor do you even care about the bean bag. You are just bean bag haters and bean bagphobs. /s
