It would have been interesting to see how many Freshmen lie versus how many Senior lie. Does the constant immersion in the sewer of college change ones’ beliefs? Does living the lie make you believe the lie after four years?
I like what this indicates about their positions and how they vote. It’s OK to avoid arguing with leftist nutcases.
Conform or be cast out.
The good professors are all STEM professors. I fondly remember mine.
Even in the early 70s, I don’t recall having one conservative humanities professor. Except for James Dickey, who was a professor on campus but I never was in one of his classes.
I would bet that on 80%+ of essay type assignments having a view counter to the proffessor you will fail or get a severely lower score.
it’s self preservation.
Sounds like islam ,LOL
Agreed. In the late 90’s and early 90’s exactly zero of my math and computer science instructors taught the leftist crap or even natural selection / anti-God stuff. I heard all of that in my liberal arts “core” courses.
It sounds like, you have to be liberal, to survive in college. Or that you have to appear to be liberal.
It’s a sad commentary, but it appears this is how it is.

My daughter went to college conservative and all the heavy-handed brainwashing made her more conservative. She found a small handful of like-minded individuals.
Mind you, she served in the IDF (and is back now) and all the anti-Jewish stuff in colleges and the media really pushed her FAR right.
But, yes, she knows to keep her head down and not express her opinions.
Good for your daughter and good for you for raising her right.
I went through that issue in college many decades ago.
Ideological professors was one issue.
Another comical example was my professor who taught a course on the Supreme Court.
He had written a dozen books on the subject.
If you read all his books and memorized his analysis you would get an A in the course.
Easy peasy.
I wrote a term paper in the late ‘70s at a college and leaned it towards abolishing the death penalty although I don’t believe that. My professor was a feminist. I got the A, and almost got laid.
Things have changed a little bit since the 1970s. STEM faculty are not the way you are remembering them.
And the only thing that is truly yours is your soul.
Up to you I suppose.
BTTT
I had one English teacher who actually cared about teaching English, in college. All the rest outside my engineering curriculum were blatant propagandists for specific ideologies (the anthropology teacher was a Marxist, the history prof a socialist, the astronomy prof a raging atheist, another English teacher a post-modernist, etc.)
I put up Nixon’s The One stickers, so no...
“Or that you have to appear to be liberal.”
If 90% of students lie about their views, that probably means that about 90% are secretly conservative. Would that mean that a mostly conservative student body presents themselves to the rest of as a group as liberal?
