If you are trying to imply that BYU is a hotbed of liberalism, with all due respect that could be the silliest thing I’ve seen all year.

No, I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying they lack the discernment because they engage in identity socio-politics FIRST, and everything else is a distant SECOND...
Example 1: I've seen 5 FR thread/posts re financial scam Mormons taking advantage of fellow ward Mormons this yr alone -- ponzi schemes -- two in the last 2 wks...why? 'cause they trust the Mormon ID FIRST, and fall for the rest of the scams they offer up...
Example 2: Likewise, some of the BYU faithful were trusting Reid FIRST because of the Lds ID...
Example 3: Just like Lds trusted Smith on his liberal position on marriage (more than one wife) -- even though their good books (Bible & Book of Mormon) told them otherwise...they trusted the ID of Smith FIRST...and foreclosed on what their good books told them about marriage

Great point on how some LDS members seemed to get so easily deceived!
