University Of Californnia: Indoctrination Or Education

Every time that my alma mater calls to ask me for a donation, I ask them first: "Does UC Davis still have a women's studies program." The answer is always yes. So I just tell them that they obviously have more money than they can spend wisely already. 

Others are catching on to the University of California's lost way.

The University of California is a hotbed of leftist faculty and politically correct thinking where many students are receiving a weak and unbalanced education, according to a report by a conservative organization of professors and administrators.

The study by the California Assn. of Scholars repeats objections conservatives have had for decades over what they see as an overwhelmingly liberal academia that stifles dissent. Especially in UC humanities departments, study of classics and rigorous analysis have been replaced by advocacy of a leftist agenda and teaching about the grievances of various minorities, the report says.

"It has reached an extreme where one couldn't not comment," John Ellis, a UC Santa Cruz professor emeritus in German literature and president of the association, said in explaining why his group is releasing the document now.
