I never had a Philosophy teacher who was not some kind of Leftist activist until I attended grad school at a private university. I had some good ones as an undergrad in the 1980s at Rutgers. My Current Moral and Social Issues professor was so impressed with my understanding of the abortion issue and other moral issues that he told me to skip the final because I was getting an A.
The "Sex and the City" series, which I have never seen, seems to be a more overt vehicle for "influencing the mores of the nation" in furtherance of the homosexual and Leftist agendas.
There seem to be a lot of movies on cable designed to "define deviancy down". More than a few seem to be designed to encourage wife swapping, multiple-partner sex, homosexuality, and kinky sex between two people. I got rid of HBO because I couldn't stand their propaganda anymore. Showtime is only slightly better. Only slightly.

Rutgers seems like it has a good faculty, and so does the University of Pittsburgh, for some reason. Good integration between science, history, and Philosophy, or so it seems. I gave a lot of thought to maybe attending grad school there.
"Defining deviancy down" seems like the trend, I agree. As if there was some kind of sophistication or wisdom inherent in deviancy. Notice how many performances of classical music, for example, are "sponsored in part by the Gill Foundation's Gay/Les. Fund."
If they ever really bother to read Plato's "Charmides," we'll all be in real trouble! It seems that Socrates was something of a deviant pedophile. And in the "Symposium" he drinks wine all night long.
