I can attest to this. I almost dropped out of sociology graduate studies...the program was nothing more or less recruiting those that would go out and speak to their socialist agenda. The required reading to gather statistics and information for my research even included Mein Kamph, Freidrich and Engels’ The C. Manifesto, Chomsky, et al. When I made my dissertation about a brief study of humanity from Genesis to the F’bomb (f-word) that wasn’t what they gave me the scholarship for. If I hadn’t already spent half it I would’ve dropped out. Good thing I’d already gotten my pick of history studies (real history) back in my master’s program. If I hadn’t been a senior citizen already, and lived through so much current history I wouldn’t have been able to see through it.
When I went back to college twenty years ago to get my diploma, I had to retake a basic sociology class. The prof's main interest was Indian uh Native Americans. He seriously believe that the federal government was trying to murder all the native americans. The guy's dislike of his students, most of whom didn't share his fanaticism, was apparent. He was easily the rudest piece of work I've ever had for a teacher. Even though the overwhelming majority of my profs had a leftist bent, most were fairly nice people. This guy was an arrogant jerk.
