Liberal hegemony/dogma on college campuses? What's been your experience?

1 Answer

Answer :

Hard to say, not finding the dichotomy & labels conservative/liberal too reflective both of my own views, and of others. We’re a lot less politically diverse than many developed nations, yet we’re still unquestionably diverse enough that the assumption of those labels being the primary way to understand/classify political views distorts our reality and even harms our democracy. There are a variety of views, though many findings of disciplines support certain types of so-called liberal views. But that’s not always the case; for instance, my first class today was mostly spent discussing (the teacher brought the subject up and fostered it’s motion in that direction) how bad abortion was – not that i disagreed with the views, just that other views were pushed to the side & not considered. [must go asap, will try to elaborate later]
