There's a bit of truth to what he is saying. The left-wing bent of higher education institutions is well known. His fundamentals are correct, he just manages to make himself sound like a fundamentalist.

However he needs to realize this whole college "atheist socialist hedonist" thing, for many, is a phase. Otherwise we'd see that in the polls and the census. It's very much tied to the "crisis of faith" TJ talks about prompted by sex and drinking. It's a bit sad though... loosing your faith because you want to have sex or drink. Oh well. It's a phase. I won't go through it.

Actually yes. Freshman year of high school in my English class the only way to get an A on an assignment concerning how to "solve racism" was state the answer was some form of socialism.

In the seventh grade, I was a pinko islamofascist. For an assignment we had to basically conceive a paradise. While everyone chose some kind of world where you had nothing to do, I wrote about turning Sint Maarten into some kind of country- called Jannah, the Arabic word for paradise- where everyone had the same houses, maximum wages, and excessive environmental regulation. I believe that I used "Arbeit Macht Frei" in some positive context as well. Regrettably (or thankfully?) I have lost that project.

I expect Inks coming here and explaining how Republicans aren't anti-intellectuals at all.

Not all of us are.

It's not the higher education institutions that "lean left". Some professors just like to recite left-wing talking points during lectures. But it's not just professors who are teach in the humanities, or sociology or politics. I had a right-wing chemistry teacher once, amusingly enough. They just like to run their mouth and be heard.

But they do, and have for many years. God and Man at Yale was written sixty years ago. Many, many people have come and again mentioned this. Sure, the university does not plan pogroms against conservatives. But the faculties are widely liberal, this is not deniable. I've experienced it first hand at many universities.
