There was a time when Universities embraced debate of opposing ideas, opposing opinions, to hone critical thinking skills. I see a complete rejection of that now. No one wants to see a different way of thinking. Must have conformity.
Correct. Universities blather on endlessly about diversity and even have whole departments dedicated to it yet they simultaneously reject the most important kind of diversity of all - diversity of thought.
That needs to change. Some brave administrator or president needs to openly take up the cause and see to it that only candidates who disagree with the received orthodoxy on campus be hired for faculty positions. Obviously this means Leftists need not apply.
