Anyone who has been a conservative Republican their whole life like me knows there is nothing new here. As a Poli Sci major in college during the 1980s myself, I got a double dose this in college. It is no secret in this country that academia, not mention the teachers unions, the media, and the entertainment community (Hollyweird) hate and detest all things Republican and especially all things conservative.
“As a Poli Sci major in college during the 1980s myself...”
I too, was a Poli Sci major at the University of Minnesota back in the mid 1980’s.
The best way to describe the Pol Sci dept (at that time) would be to have said it was left of center.
But with a few glaring examples, I felt that most of the professors were pretty even-handed in their teaching.
The current Poli Sci dept is extraordinarily left of center, almost socialistic in their teaching. It’s an incredible shame too. The current crop of professor would tell you otherwise - but they are doing a dis-service to academia and to the students by which the manner they teach their classes.
It was bad enough being engineering in the ‘80s. OK, well, it stretched into the ‘90s.
I could tell you about our College Republicans. Boy, how pathetic it was on a big U.
