Bucknell is basically a small liberal arts and engineering college for suburban east-coast kids who don't get accepted by an ivy-league school. The student body is about as homogenous as you can get (or at least it was in the mid-80's when I graduated). The faculty, however, is just to the left of Chairman Mao. So you get this weird dynamic where the children of conservative bankers, lawyers and doctors make themselves feel good about themselves by attending multiculturalism rallies, sporting Sandinista T-shirts and speculating about when Capitalism (always capitalized) will inevitably come crashing down. During my time there, I was called a "Nazi", a "fascist," "Hitler-youth member" and a "right-wing fanatic" - - and that was by my professors. So much for opening young minds.

I went to Berkeley. Imagine how bad that was.

Of course, I managed to be in the one liberal arts field that still possessed conservative (and non-insane democrats) as the majority of the professors.

God bless the Classics.
