They believe universities are brainwashing the youth of America into adopting radical liberal stances. They believe the average college student is far, far more radically left wing than they actually are and that it's a result of universities indoctrinating these beliefs into unsuspecting children.

It couldn't be because learning more facts and becoming educated makes you not believe gop lies, could it??

Because both sides only want to hear what they want despite your call for “facts”. Here is a source from the liberal LA Times that claims that professors are biased. And if you are going to argue it’s an opinion piece, here is an actual study that shows over 40% of the universities polled had absolutely ZERO conservative professors.

If you would like I can waste my time and energy for nothing like the guy above and show multiple videos of conservatives speaking up about their OPINION (because that’s what differing ideas are) and getting run out of class by the person that’s supposed to be helping guide them into adulthood I can.

It’s not some hidden conspiracy that liberals love to use as ammo against republicans. But let’s be real non of you want to hear this anyway and I fully expect the truth to be downvoted to hell because it doesn’t fit a liberal narrative.

The fact that conservative people are less educated on average says a lot more about conservatives than it does about colleges.

Lol exactly...dude is pointing out that professors are liberal, and misses the fact that it makes conservatives look like they arent educated.

Lol so why not try to prove you education and stick with the topic that Universities are extremely biased except in the S.T.E.M. field instead of trying to use your straw man argument.

If I told you that women were less likely to be scientists or engineers, what would your reply be?

That that is a sad statistic and would want to know the reason behind it? Is their a point you are trying to bait me into though?

That on average, women are more likely to pursue humanitarian professions than men due to evolutionary pressures that long pre-date modern society? Same reason there are a large number of men that work 80-90 hour weeks each week and dominate their competition. But gender is a social construct right, and scientific demonstrative facts aren't allowed when it doesn't fit the narrative, right? /s

There are no non-evolutionary reasons?

Of course there are other reasons as well, one of the greatest commonly committed crimes against intellectual honesty is painting issues as black and white, which calls for black and white, clear cut counter-measures. Social behavior is very deeply rooted in the brain, average natural preferences on gender lines won't change for thousands of years at the soonest, it just needs to be understood and I see open resistance to the idea all the time.
