My daughters and I talk about this. I’ve always been puzzled about where the idea of on-campus indoctrination comes from. I don’t think humanities and liberal arts faculty are any more or less tolerant of dissent than they ever have been, and so also frankly don’t think curricula and professors usually have the ability to dictate a point of view to their students.
My daughters have said they think it’s just a matter of exposure to other students and new places, because the only kids they have seen do 180 ideological turns in college are kids from sheltered, homogeneous environments who see the world outside for the first time and realize that things are not as they were told. There’s a prog-left version of this too, but the Republican small city kids learn that cities aren’t dangerous, liberals don’t hate the free market, people don’t get third term abortions other than in medical emergencies and white Christian political conservatives are the discriminators more often than they are the object of discrimination.
And it is not extremely important also that college is where the gay kids from those environments finally have the space to accept themselves for the first time.
And then they come home from college, and the parents blame woke indoctrination, when it was really just seeing the world outside the cloister for the first time.
