The social work and social sciences have become so ideologically uniform that they openly discriminate against conservatives and see it as reasonable to do so because they validate their own biases.

The "social sciences" dropped any pretense at science long ago. As far as I can tell, getting a graduate degree in a social science is dependent on learning how to filter literally everything through a lens of confirmation bias.

While there is, in theory, much to be gained by the study of society, the rampant leftist confirmation bias that overlays everything in the social sciences prevents the discovery of any new knowledge or insights. The same can actually be said of psychology, as well.

Robert Nisbet was a conservative sociologist. And a very good writer. ‘History of the Idea of Progress’.
