Colleges May Become Institutions Of Higher Learning As Left Wing Professors Retire
This would be a nice change.
Shifting from the liberal political indocrtination camps they’ve become under the guidance of baby boomer, liberal teachers to what they’re supposed to be, that is:
A vast generational change is underway at American universities and colleges that will radically alter the culture over the next decade.
Politically liberal college professors from the baby boomer generation, most of which were hired during the higher education expansion of the ‘60s and ‘70s, are systematically being replaced by younger professors who are less ideologically polarized and more politically moderate, The New York Times reports.
They won’t be missed. And will the students mourn their passing? Don’t count on it:
“I hear from quite a few faculty members and graduate students from around the country. They are not really interested in fighting the battles that have been fought over the last 20 years,” Wood tells the Times.
An interview of nearly 50 educators at colleges and universities across the country shows academic institutions returning back to scholarly endeavors, rather than the political activism breeding grounds they were during the ‘60s, the Times report reveals.
So, the academic worm may be starting to turn. And no, I’m not talking about Ward Churchill. That’s a different worm. It may come as a surprise to those liberal teachers but it seems that the kids would rather learn than be indoctrinated into liberal politics.
Imagine that.
