Nearly a decade before Adolph Hitler secured political dictatorship in mid-1930 Germany, that nation’s universities had already become Nazified openly preaching fascism for state dictatorship. Who will arise in America from the fascism now preached throughout classes once called “Liberal arts” learnings? Obama’s neodictatorship has already been established at the national government level and in California state government, colleges and universities, but what is tomorrow’s American tolerance picture going to look like when from coast to coast its students learn no subject unfiltered by rules of Obama-Hillary atheistic fascism?
WHERE ARE ALL THE CONSERVATIVE UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS?
by Damon Linker at The Week:
“College professors are overwhelmingly liberal. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it.
Studies document it, anecdotes confirm it, and the right decries it. College campuses are places where the ideological gamut typically runs from liberal Democrat to Maoist, with a whole bunch of postmodern cynics in the middle and often not a single conservative in sight.
Well, okay, not all campuses — and not even all schools and departments at top research universities. Business schools and medical schools tend to be much more ideologically diverse and sometimes even slanted to the right. The same is sometimes true of engineering schools, and often economics departments, too. When people describe universities as homogeneously left-wing, they’re mainly talking about the humanities, most of the social sciences, and many (though not all) law schools.
But here’s my question: What’s behind the apparent bias? Is it merely a matter of leftists hiring the like-minded and excluding those who dissent from the party line? No doubt, that’s part of it. But I think the story is also far more complicated. And this complication makes it very unlikely that simple calls for hiring more conservatives on the grounds of fairness or diversity will make a meaningful difference in rectifying the ideological imbalance.
Consider this: The humanities and social sciences (the liberal arts) derive from two traditions — neither of which is straightforwardly compatible with the way many contemporary conservatives view higher education. The deepest source of the liberal arts is the medieval university, which was divided into distinct disciplines (or departments) of learning: theology, law, and medicine. This model was expanded into the rudiments of the modern university in the early 19th century by the Prussian philosopher Wilhelm von Humboldt, who championed academic freedom for scholars to conduct specialized research in a wide range of discrete fields. The aim of this research was both to expand the boundaries of knowledge and to disseminate it among the citizenry to create well-rounded, autonomous individuals.
