Professors have decades of published work that you read before you enroll. It's not like you blindly sign up for a class. You know exactly what the professor is about. This isn't high school.
I was about to say. Are people so lazy that they don't even study in college? Perhaps it was all about being a stoner to them.
Then you went to one of the 97% of universities that are like that.
I love this nonsense. I happen to have just finished up a master's degree at a public university, including some time as a grad assistant. Folks like you lie to the masses, knowing that since most are removed from the academy, they will probably believe you. The truth is that higher education is absolutely fixated on race, gender, and leftist dogma. The chancellor at my university is literally incapable of sending an email that does not contain some reference to "equity, diversity, and inclusion," and all the ancillary woo-woo piffle attached to this belief system. But it's far worse than that. The humanities and social sciences literally focus scholarship upon this garbage. And not just the "research" produced by academics, but the research done by their students. It's appalling, and it's most appalling because it produces research devoid of any academic rigor and also devoid of any practical use or application. Even more disturbingly, it is invading the actual sciences and medicine, which has all sorts of frightening implications, some of which are already being realized. Be concerned if you or your loved ones are bound for the ER, for example, and who might be treating that injury or malady.
No, you'll have to try and pass off this bit upon some other people.
There are multiple websites out there, both general (RateMyProfessor) and conservative leaning that talk about professor politics. If you do a little bit of work, you can avoid the small percentage of professors who are egregiously trying to indoctrinate:
Getting ostracized, bad grades, and bad or no recommendations from professors due to having a different opinion, is not "fragility".
I could understand that in a course on political science or other liberal arts courses but not in a majority of classes. Hard to believe that many students are afraid of retaliation.

Plenty of sites give student reviews of professions take a few minutes if its that big an issue to you. If all you want is people who think like you then find the school that represents your values and go there. Why waste your money on something new when you can pay to have your own narrow minded views reinforced...

Most professors are not even reviewed on those sites. You have no idea what you're talking about. Additionally, those sites are reliant upon the honesty and integrity of the reviewers. What a pathetic line of deflection this is.

They have. If you wish to have leftist indoctrination centers, start your own. But when the taxpayers are subsidizing these wholly overrated, overpriced institutions, you do not have the right to perpetuate one-sided propaganda-dispensing and stifle free expression.
Normal taxpayers need to speak up on this. Talk to your state legislators. Urge them to reduce fudning of your state's four-year universities. Educate yourself about your local public universities. Read about their "bias response teams." Go onto their "Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion" webpages and note the sorts of explicit political advocacy efforts that you're subsidizing. And, for heaven's sake, stop giving money to your alma mater. You're just feeding the monster.
If they are overrated and overpriced, why would you want to go to one? Put your money where your mouth is.
Colleges use to pride themselves on being places of free ideas and free exchange of ideas.
As far as I can tell, political diversity in college is about over. The marxists are in full control. Nothing we can do at this point as it has already taken full control. In 10 years, I suspect the old people are completely done and just a few powerful people will have their young army. It is what it is, but I blame my generation and the boomers. We should have be tougher on our kids and made them stronger, but they are so easy to lead. I think it is all too late to be honest. Oh and the black people that think they are doing great now? No, you are being used like the rest of us.
