You can almost guarantee that the people who create these things and get upset about this have never actually been in a college classroom . People can say what they want about academia , but the vast majority of professors are objective towards their students . So long as you have a sensible argument for your views that don ' t just rely on religion and aren ' t justified by simply stating it ' s your opinion , you are fine . I ' ve went to Universities in NYC , which is probably one of the most liberal cities in the US , and have had a few instances where someone expressed views that were borderline racist , but my professors never once ostracized them . Also , can I say , that liberalism and socialism and those other isms that are typically associated with the left were initially and still are ? intellectual movements . The principles that define these isms all stemmed from the questioning of views that were oppressive and deeply rooted in religion . So yes , it isn ' t odd for these sort of views to be present in Academia which promotes critical thinking and questioning of the status quo . TLDR that list is bs !
