I meant it more as a time and event marker rather than a comparison or description of US politics. The point is universities must have balance and promote tolerance. The extremes —either extreme— are undesirable and lead to nothing good for society. I take the down-voting as evidence of sorts. I am saying we need balance and readers don’t like it. I don’t need to wonder why, I know.
