It's interesting, in taking classes again myself I haven't encountered this as much. I deal with a number of other ridiculous things the current generation in college does, but I've thankfully not been exposed to much of the truly liberal ideology here, and this is a LA university. I'm betting this is more due to the classes I take than anything else because I'm sure there are some of them sprinkled in certain programs around campus, but we are known for business, nursing, and music, which aren't programs that tend to attract that as much.
