A former 40 year Atheist analyzes Atheism, without resorting to theism, deism, or fantasy. *** If You Don't Value Truth, Then What DO You Value? *** If we say that the sane can be coaxed and persuaded to rationality, and we say that rationality presupposes logic, then what can we say of those who actively reject logic? *** Atheists have an obligation to give reasons in the form of logic and evidence for rejecting Theist theories.

Academic Quackery Bubble Pops... At Least One Does
“As result [of infestation by leftist ideologies], enrollment in politicized humanities and social sciences departments has fallen.”
I’m not disputing either that many of these programs *are* infested with leftist ideology or that enrollment has declined, but the article provides no evidence specifically linking the latter to the former. I’m wondering if there is data laying responsibility at the leftists’ door rather than just a general trend to focus on more career-oriented majors.
Literature, art, philosophy, sociology, et al., I can easily imagine overrun with SJW-types. It’s a bit harder for me to see how one could shoehorn political ideology into, say, a class on Spanish noun declensions.
Well, it did say "politicized", so it's easy to presume that Spanish detail classes might not be politicized - unless run by SJW language police who object to the two genders used by romance languages.
