I read an interview of a woman who had lived under the Nazis and the Soviets. She preferred living under the Nazis. She said the Nazis told you the rules. As long as you obeyed the rules, they left you alone. But the Soviets wanted you to think and believe in a particular way and if they thought you weren’t doing that, they’d kill you. Sounds like the universities were Soviet. Just changing the rules won’t have any immediate affect because the people already in the University systems were selected for their adherence to “right” thinking. They’ll still keep the rules despite the laws because they “know” those are the right rules.
In organization theory once someone becomes the boss of the organization their core philosophy is enforced down the ages. If they’re thieves or lunatics, they only hire thieves and lunatics. Then when they’re gone whatever they hired for will still be running the organization. This is why we need to deep six most governmental organizations. They were corrupted a long, long time ago. That corruption is echoing down the corridors of time and power.
Progressivism rejects Christianity as outdated. It accepts Darwinism as its model.
Thus, it has no core values except to survive and grow.
It is fertile ground for corruption.
