Famed U.S. university achieves ‘a safe space for the ideologically intolerant’

American universities long have portrayed themselves as melting pots for ideas, where discussions are held on the benefits of various ideologies and agendas, where discourse is open and free and all ideas are considered.

Until the last 30 or 40 years when leftism has taken over and conservatives have been excluded, those who fail to toe the line of liberalism or even extremism are ousted.

Now one university finally has achieved it’s “nirvana.” A safe space for the ideologically intolerant.”

That would be a “space” where Democrats are an overwhelming majority, and control virtually everything, even thought.

It is constitutional expert Jonathan Turley, so respected in his profession that he’s advised Congress and even represented members on constitutional issues, who cited a Buckley Institute study that confirmed at Yale, “in undergraduate departments and the law and management schools, 82.3% of faculty are registered Democrats or primarily support Democratic candidates. By contrast, only 15.4% are independent and 2.3% are Republicans. 27 of 43 undergraduate departments had no Republicans at all.”

Finally, Turley concluded, Yale as “achieved liberal nirvana.”

“Most Yale departments have succeeded in creating a safe space for the ideologically intolerant.”

He pointed out that in America, the population is “roughly evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats (with a slight advantage to the GOP), only 3 percent are Republicans across all Yale departments.”

“The report is hardly surprising. In my book, ‘The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage,’ I discuss these arguments to justify the current levels of intolerance and orthodoxy in higher education. As we have discussed for years, universities have been effectively cleansing their ranks of Republicans and conservatives,” he said.

Further, he noted, “A Georgetown study found that only nine percent of law school professors identify as conservative at the top 50 law schools — almost identical to the percentage of Trump voters found in the new poll. There is little evidence that faculty members are interested in changing this culture or creating greater diversity at schools. In places like North Carolina State University, a study found that Democrats outnumbered Republicans 20 to 1.”

Turley recalled his recent debate at Harvard Law with Randall Kennedy, a professor who rejected “the notion that the elite school should strive to ‘look more like America.'”

“It is not just that schools like Harvard ‘do not look like America’ it does not even look like liberal Massachusetts, which is almost 30 percent Republican,” he wrotye.

Harvard has descended the same path, as the Crimson there “found that more than 75 percent of the faculty self-identified as ‘liberal’ or ‘very liberal.'”

“This does not happen randomly. Indeed, if a business reduced the number of women or minorities to less than 5 percent, a court would likely find de facto discrimination,” Turley warned.
