'Anyone who has spent any time at a university understands that most institutions of higher education are functionally right wing—something that they are able to conceal, perhaps even sincerely, with a cloak of social liberalism.'
The notion that American institutions of higher learning are pervasively left-wing and endeavor to instill liberalism or socialism in their students is a conventional wisdom that has gone virtually unexamined since the student movement in the 1960s.
There are now a number of nonce terms associated with the idea, such as"politically correct" or"woke," all the more notable because we never hear these phrases from the supposed practitioners of the alleged ideology behind them. They are almost exclusively used as terms of derision by the right, which suggests they might actually be products of the conservative media-entertainment complex's meme factory.
