I'm not sure if you missed my distinction between far-left and moderate-left or if I'm misunderstanding something about your response. I agree that these institutions have long been left-of-center, but they used to be liberal (in the sense that they favored things like free speech and heterodoxy and opposed things like discrimination based on immutable characteristics). I object to the vehemently illiberal wing of the left (and right, but as previously mentioned, apart from the anomaly that is the presidency, the illiberal right is largely marginalized).
