Liberalism///
Time to update the language.
The radical leftists today, who are the main stream of the democrat party, would shock the likes of Harry Truman and Hubert Humphrey.
“Shockingly, academic studies show that liberalism has infiltrated academia and is corrupting higher education.”
It’s not “has,” it’s “has for all of my lifetime” of some 78 years! This isn’t anything new. My parents moved to San Francisco in 1936. They told me when I was a student at UC Berkeley that when they arrived, the professors @ UCB were at that time proclaiming that they were going to make Berkeley the first Communist city in the country.
Shocking? Heck, I went to school in the early 70's and there were plenty of liberal creeps in academia then.
“...conservatives have a “ right to be skeptical of scientists,” suggesting that skepticism of scientific establishments is valid due to a long and proven history of “scholar activism” in fields like sociology and political science.”
Neither sociology nor political science are true SCIENCES:
noun
1.a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws:
the mathematical sciences.
2.systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation.
3.any of the branches of natural or physical science.
In other shocking news, it will be cold in Minnesota this winter; the sun will set in the west tonight; and Senator McCain is still dead.
The article contains many URL links to studies that show the overwhelmingly liberal academic bias on campuses. Prof. Jonathon Haidt of NYU is a liberal Jewish atheist who grew up in a radical leftist home, yet he has started a group at heterodoxy.org that is pushing for intellectual diversity on college campuses. He says that there has been a liberal bias for several decades, but that it greatly intensified in the mid-1990s, when many of the “greatest generation” profs retired and the the 1960s activist students-turned-profs became dominant. Haidt has several very good videos on YouTube. Many more people are seeing the intellectual destruction that these Leftists have brought.
Thanks, bfl.
They’re not educating anymore they are indoctrinating. These are communist soldiers following Kruschev plan given in his we will bury you speech.

I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you!
They are not liberals. What’s going on in colleges is not liberal.
