I work at a university... and that goes double for us here. Depend on it, I couldn’t even BREATHE about Conservatism or about supporting Trump... and keep my job!

I would be amazed, nay gobsmacked, if this wasn’t the result of intentional efforts in decades past as so-called radicals (Marxists) were sowed as tares with a view that they replicate themselves.

This is known to have happened in seminaries and only the self-deluded would imagine that Bill Ayers would become a teacher of teachers and not intend great harm as a cultural Marxist ... being two examples.

In other words, Conservative viewpoints interfere with preconceived results.

sure makes McCarthy look like he knew what he was talking about.

It’s why liberals are loony - all the social scientists are lefty and they run the lefty psyops.

I taught sociology in high school. The guy before me was a typical lefty socialist (the only one in the building) who got himself fired. After researching the textbook author, a communist professor from UT Austin, I spent the 1st day describing how extreme she was using some of her other, less guarded writings. We didn't use the book much and when we did I'd point out the nonsense and give another view.

When I retired I recruited another teacher in the department to take over that I knew would do the same.

I've been to the National Council of the Social Studies conference. What a bunch of communist. I'm glad I taught, and my kids went to school, in a conservative area. I've never blamed people in those situations for homeschooling or sending their kids to private schools.

"Viewpoint diversity may therefore be more valuable than demographic diversity if social psychology’s core goal is to produce broadly valid and generalizable conclusions. (Of course, demographic diversity can bring viewpoint diversity, but if it is viewpoint diversity that is wanted, then it may be more effective to pursue it directly.)"
