Examining Political Bias in
Higher Education
In Georgia
I believe the timing is right to work together to just set a lot of things right within many areas in our society. President Trump and his team have already hit the ground running with the determination to end the age of insanity and get back to being Americans.
Last year we saw campus protests reminiscent of the 1960s with students proclaiming such insanity as “Queers for Palestine.” We saw antisemitism openly displayed with school administrators doing little to nothing to stop it. We have seen wokeness displayed with no call for rationality. The phrase “The lunatics are running the asylum” was never more accurate than over the past four years.
With that in mind I thought I would look at an issue that I have been curious about for some time, higher education and politics. Specifically, I thought I would look at my home state, Georgia, and the State’s University system. Surely here in the South, at my Alma Matre this insanity could not be on display. What I found surprised me and has piqued my curiosity. We would need to believe there is an Adam Smith “invisible hand” at work to produce what I found.
“What we perceive as coincidence is part of a larger, interconnected pattern that we might not fully understand, but that should not dissuade us from searching for connections and meaning.”
I hope this provides some insight for parents of high schoolers and college age kids to at least think through where you send you son or daughter if college is in their future. I would also hope this sparks interest in other areas of the country and that other parents do the same analysis and share it.
