One of the problems with a lot of the liberal arts curriculum today is that every university tends to slant the same way with the same topics. They all come to same conclusions on non-deterministic, subjective ideas. There's a missing counterweight in may cases that exists to critique, ridicule, and otherwise keep in check opposing ideas.
For each critical theory (race, gender, secuality, etc) department there should indeed be a neo-reactionary (or similar) one, for example. But not only is there not, any questioning or debate of the crits is stone walled as racist/misogynist/homophobic/white/etc. There's actually some good ideas there but not being allowed to or having the university platform to formalize opposing ideas and to challenge undermines them. This is how religion happens, not free inquiry.
Let the ideas flow and let the strong ones prevail but certainly not become doctrine.

What is that based on? People I know in universities are exposed to a very wide range of ideas. In the OP, isn't it the conservatives who are suppressing ideas?
