> The degree to which radically far left ideology is taught in university is one of the most prevalent contributors to the current political schism.
I'm super curious to know where you are getting this from because I went to a public state school surrounded by cornfields in the midwest and this wasn't my experience in any way shape or form. I cannot recall any my friends changing their political stances, but then again, we didn't talk politics really. I do know quite a few though that came in republican, left republican, and voted for trump.
> Most notably, one's racial and gender identity are brought to the foreground as bar none the primary contributors to the outcomes an individual will encounter. Not too far behind is the usual suspect of economic class, where "boomers" and "landlords" are the new bourgeois, and debt-laden millennial college graduate is the proletariat class.
I cannot ever recall having had a single conversation in college about any of this.
> The degree to which people are skeptical of markets and a market value associated with their actions is so immense, that the idea that someone with a CS degree having a vastly greater market value than an individual with a degree in Critical Race theory is simply met with derision akin to "but muh STEM."
I'm probably unique in this case as I took multiple economics classes and read probably a dozen more textbooks in my spare time and the answer to this became quite obvious with just basic econ. It's a shame some/more (my highschool incidentally did require one consumer economics class) economics isn't a required course.
