I have recently finished the new book by Neil Gross, Why are Professors Liberal and Why Do Conservatives Care? In it, he tries to sell readers on the idea that even though most professors are liberal, they “play it straight” and don’t try to influence students. On the contrary, there is abundant evidence of courses that are clearly slanted toward “progressive” analysis and statist notions. Jane Shaw writes about one at NC State that a student brought to her attention in this week’s Clarion Call.
