Current Events » in reply to Went to the U of Minn year ago, and more recently I worked at Stanford for a few years.

I work at an east coast so-called 'liberal' academic bastion
Yeti — (archived)

I see active and vocal student christian groups, very visible Objectivist clubs (which include several professors in several departments), A good friend of mine who just passed away was a Philosophy professor who was Well Armed, very conservative, and a sworn law Enforcement officer who voted republican every election (although, I must say, unlike you he was cognizant of the problems with the Iraq war and President Bush). And he was not unique, even in the Philosophy department! The Campus Republicans are every bit as organized, active, visible and commonly supported as the Campus Democrats...

And yeah, we have one or two Marxists floating around.

I know, I know, there is probably some reason under which you'll insist that either I'm full of shit or that this is somehow an exception to the rule.

However, its prettymuch has been my experience wherever I have gone in academia.

College life culture is a cross section of america, with some extra loonies thrown in on both sides of the equation.

So pick away.
