[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 880740, member: 9033"] Most research has shown that exposure to different people (which occurs a lot in college) tends to make people more liberal as they get exposed to, and understand better, different viewpoints and experiences. I can only say most colleges are considered "leftist" by some because they tend to be more understanding of others and willing to stand up for what they consider to be harassment of those they have learned more about. I don't intend for that to come off as elitist or condescending but it's a fact that most large studies have shown that when communities are not very diverse, they tend to be far more fearful and distrustful of those that they don't consider part of their "community" and that exposure to people from outside their normal group lessens that fear and distrust. I've never actually had someone show me how math or science can be "leftist" (certainly numbers can be manipulated but that's not math so much as dishonesty, a universal issue). Certainly there are courses that are liberal but I would argue that there are far more conservative institutions out there (look at all the religious universities) than "leftist". It's unfortunate when people, from any political leaning (I MEAN THIS, IT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE OF EVERY LEANING), would rather denigrate and ignore knowledge than allow that knowledge to change their minds on a subject. When new things are learned people should be far more open to embracing that new understanding. [/QUOTE]
