I’m a history major, and yes I had one professor who was a conservative, and he was wonderful. While I agree the majority are in hard sciences, we need to support conservatives in the arts too.

Of course some disciplines are anathema, sociology, women’s studies, that sort of thing, but there are some which are completely compatible with a conservative that we should not concede. Look at Dr. Mike Adams at UNC, he’s a conservative professor in the arts. We need more just like him.

One of my sons was a history buff from the time he was in elementary school. He loved reading history books. He also has a good memory and was creative so he could tell you parts of history like he was reading a story book. When he was young, I got him older history and civic texts and stories that were written before the Marxists air brushed the founding fathers away. Those books were also written for boys about mostly American men! In junior high he moved on to modern versions of history but nothing radical.

But, he was also excellent in science and in High School some very wicked feminists had taken over the history department and they were not able to shape his knowledge of history to fit their “world view” as he already knew a boatload of facts and context. They would give out inaccurate information and that is when I taught him to overlook the Marxists when you get one for a teacher and just tell them what they want to hear - right or wrong - so you don’t mess up your GPA. He did what I suggested, but was disgusted. He felt he was lying all year.

He decided to make history his hobby and go into science.
