NYT: Affirmative Action For Conservatives?

As some posters have already indicated, political views tend to be fungible; a Republican today carries a very different connotation than it did as recently as twenty years ago. I think it’s useful to go back to @Corinthian’s initial admonition that any efforts to diversify university views are likely to be restricted to those views that can complement fairly orthodox academic disciplines like Economics. I have no problem with studying creationism as a social phenomenon any more than I would BLM, but I suspect that a good deal of that sort of thing already takes place in Sociology and Poli Sci classes all over the country. Same with climate change deniers: I have no problem discussing policy implications for the indigenous coal industry and how that may effect long-term unemployment in Appalachia. A lot of these things are such no-brainers that you wonder how they could have become so politicized in the first place!
