My Liberal Campus [Princeton] Is Pushing Freethinkers to the Right
A piece on today’s campus climate, written by a senior at Princeton, could have been written by any student in the Ivy League and beyond where a puritanical and often hostile progressive ideology is forcing students rightward.
“All students should welcome challenges to their most cherished beliefs, but from what I’ve seen on campus, students are not invited to debate [by “progressives’]; they are expected to conform… Some might think that this pervasive progressivism would encourage conservative students to change their views. But in fact it has the opposite effect…”
“If colleges don’t want to produce a new generation of conservative firebrands, they need to pump the brakes on campus progressivism. Campuses that are more welcoming to conservatives are in universities’ own interest.”
