LB, that's a curiously sweeping statement. Do you mean that the study of humanity, progress and motivation will inevitably result on holding non-Right views, or only if such is studied in the US? Universities the world over are Bastions of the left. It would be almost impossible to get hired at by these departments if you hold conservative views. Not that you would make it to PHD with them anyway. You would be winnowed out along the way. Anthropology Departments are especially left. It is almost impossible to get Tenure in a University's ME department with pro-Israeli views, for instance. They are almost all Muslim immigrants or left wing radicals. I don't "chew nails" about this situation, the Liberal Arts departments have never been bastions of conservatism. But it is more prevalent now than ever, IMO. So if you are going to read something by someone with this BG, you know pretty well what to expect.This is not really too arguable. Survey after survey has shown a 90%+ or better voting pattern for the left by these people. I won't pursue this here. FL is not enamored with this subject. :>)
