Most of the anti-war protests attributed to UC Berkeley were actually conducted by non-students, many out-of-towners. I am defending UC Berkeley because I am quite familiar with it and would like to see it treated fairly. When I was there there were radical, liberal, conservative and far-right professors: e.g., Jensen, Teller... Most of the posts here who mention UC Berkeley disparage the University but offer no specifics...sort like maintaining a bad rumor by innuendo alone. I had classes taught by two Nobel Laureates, in Physics and Chemistry, and all things considered it is a superb graduate institution that does not indoctrinate according to political philosophy.
LOL! Bezerkeley is a radical's fondest dream as a campus for froot-loop leftist, femi-whacky, gay-ga-ga indoctrination. The hard science and graduate programs may be exceptions, but only to the extent that the high-autistic faculty members that dwell there are too disconnected from everyday life to offer anything substantive to the radical social diatribes and agenda that ferment, bubble, and pop around them.
True, even Boalt Hall once had a token conservative, professing Christian believer as a tenured professor, but Phil Johnson segued into emeritus status last year leaving the law school almost entirely to the atheists and communists.
So, I'm being hyperbolic. Bezerkeley tends to bring it out in me.
