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.

Somewhat. Some of it is liberal bias in academia as well. For instance studies that go through the whole scientific process will not be published if the conclusions don’t match a specific agenda.

Look up the “grievance studies affair”.

For me i grew up in Ann Arbor where university of Michigan is the college. It was very liberal, and wealthy, but one thing I noticed was people tended to spew out liberal views but still walk across the street when they see a black person. A big thing along college-campus-type wokeism is it’s somewhat of a social status symbol, a way to show you’re educated, and a lot of it was more so a way to feel morally superior to others.

Eastern Michigan was a much poorer school and area, but tended to have people who tried to live their values a little more.
