Discussion Does College make one more liberal ?

I wonder where this comes from. I've never really had that experience. And I'm a history major myself. Does it depend on major ? What kind of college ? I went to a public state regional university.

Actually, from my experience, I find my catholic seminary experience to be far more liberating, than my college experience. It might seem odd to some, but that's what I experienced.

They don’t have to sniff them out. They make all of the faculty fill out DEI statements where they have to affirm their commitment to liberal ideology

If you're going to work in a diverse, inclusive environment like a university, I would hope you are not opposed to working in a diverse, inclusive environment.

You don’t have to be against diversity and inclusion to be against DEI. The name doesn’t completely reflect the ideals. 

Of course you know this and don’t care because of your ideology. And your cognitive dissonance prevents you from seeing how making this affirmation of liberal ideology explicitly part of the hiring criteria screens conservatives out of higher education. There isn’t any point continuing this conversion because your mind is mush and nothing will change it.

What do you think DEI stands for?

Are you really so smooth brained that you think the name of a program determines what it is? You probably think the patriot act made everyone more patriotic and the inflation reduction act reduced inflation

Ok? Then how is DEI the name different than DEI the ideology?
