It's not just conservatives who think so: over 70 percent of Americans, notes a recent Pew study, believe social media platforms "Censor political views."
Overall, the percentage of college graduates in the labor force soared from under 11 percent in 1970 to over 30 percent four decades later.
In 1990, according to survey data by UCLA's Higher Education Research Institute, 42 percent of professors identified as "Liberal" or "Far-left." By 2014, that number had jumped to 60 percent.
Well short of 10 percent of faculty at leading law schools, such as Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia, and Berkeley-schools that graduate many of the nation's leaders-describe themselves as conservative.
The clerisy is working to undermine basic liberal democracy.
Some 40 percent of millennials, notes Pew, favor limiting speech deemed offensive to minorities-well above the already-depressing 27 percent among Gen-Xers and 24 percent among baby boomers.
With lower levels of cultural literacy and reduced interest in history, the new generation could reprise the intellectual deterioration of the Middle Ages, when, according to Belgian historian Henri Pirenne, "The very mind of man was going through degeneration." Just as the feudal prelates disdained classical culture, today's clerisy seeks to unmoor liberal culture and the Western political tradition; nearly 40 percent of young Americans, for example, think that the country lacks "a history to be proud of." Far smaller numbers than previous generations prize family, religion, or patriotism.
