US Conservatives Concerned...

[Ming]

From a story that ran in the Chicago Tribune last Sunday:

Just when you thought the streets were safe from the Political Correctness menace, the neo-conservative right has uncovered a new threat to the survival of the republic. In the pages of the WSJ and the Washington Times, the American Enterprise and other venues, alarms are sounded because according to surveys, 85% to 97% of faculty memebers in the humanities and social sciences departments of our most prestigious universities identify themselves as left of center.

Duh!!!!!!!

And they need surveys to bring this to their attention...
Like this hasn't been going on for the last 50 years...

I'll be that in the business and marketting departments the ratio is the exact opposite.

[OneFootInTheGrave]

Good point.

edit: actually you should be a bit concerned scared if humanities departmens are right wing oriented too

The fact that conservatives needed a poll to tell them this just goes to show how out of touch with reality they are.

I know... I just couldn't stop laughing when I read it.

Also in the story is quote from a story that ran in one of the right wing web site rags... Front Page Magazine...

It's a vast left-wing consipiracy, part of a gigantic social machine working to push society to the left.

And people actually believe this stuff...

Your words have chilled me to the bone as they ring so true with what we already know.

I was trying to be nice...

[Capt Dizle]

I'll testify that Ming has the capacity to be nice. And the capacity to be arbitrary.

Hey, Stewie is obviously concerned that the US state's propaganda machine isn't up to it since the end of the Cold War

Yeah, this is stating the obvious, academia tends to have a higher proportion of lefties. I remember there was one tutor at my old uni who was quite well known for being a communist, and he was in geography...

[Kropotkin]

So, tell us. What's the difference between marxist geography and the common reactionary geography of public schools? I want to know what truths about the spartial space that has been hidden from my by the regime.

[Provost Harrison]

Yes

Besides, is that some kind of slug on Boddington's avatar? (no threadjack intended)
