Elite Universities: Incubators of Leftist Ideology
Yuriy V. Karpov
Academic Questions, v37 n2 p28-36 2024
Many American parents, whose dream is to have their kids enrolled in one of the elite American Universities, do not suspect that the realization of this dream will result in the almost guaranteed leftist indoctrination of their children. The dominance of leftist ideology at elite American universities has serious implications not only on the process of education but also on scientific research--a fact that the academic left not only admits but celebrates. In this article, Yuriy V. Karpov examines how through the conveyance of its graduates into influential positions in corporations, state bureaucracies, and the media, elite universities propagate leftist ideas throughout American life.
