A recently released study confirms the suspicion that American higher education has become absurdly and ruthlessly monolithic in terms of political ideology.
The study found that the ratio of college professor donations to Democrats as opposed to Republicans was 95:1.
Besides federal agency employees, few other industries outside working for the Democratic National Committee or the media are so strongly skewed toward Democrats and the left.
The authors of the study, Heterodox Academy Research Director Sean Stevens and Brooklyn College Professor Mitchell Langbert, admit to some uncertainty on the numbers.
But even if the disparity in donations isn’t quite so high, it’s still clearly extreme and highly problematic, as the researchers explain.
“Researchers have raised concerns that ideological homogeneity may lead to questionable research practices,” Stevens and Langbert wrote. “This concern is grounded in research on confirmation bias, group polarization, motivated reasoning, and the tendency for these phenomena to be even more pronounced among the highly educated. As well, partisan polarization has been leading to Republicans’ increasing skepticism about higher education.”
Beyond problematic research is the larger problem that, at all but a handful of Americans colleges, young Americans are being dropped straight into left-wing indoctrination centers.

I mean who would have thought that the very same universities who are conducting the research would produce students who believe said research? Perhaps we should just put everyone into the oil rigs, we'll dismiss any new scientific advancement as witchcraft like the good old days? YEEEEEHHHHAWWWWWW
