A number of sources disagree with the old saw that "universities are leftist."
Particularly students:

What do you mean by Marxism?
Is that really that hard for you to answer?

I'm curious why you'd cite an old document as a valid source.
Here you go.
2015 Survey of America's College Students
I wonder why you'd link a source and say nothing about it.
What do you find of significant difference in the several decades between your link and mine ...
Oh wait, it was three years.
Go ahead though. Demonstrate that University Students are leftists or far leftists from your source.

Well what if the country accepts leftist policies with no force needed?
Or reject the policies of the right and it has to resort to force to enforce?
The guy is welcome to his opinion, but would disagree that Fascism is of the left.
The left isn't die hard nationalist like it would take for Fascism.
Man if only we could have stayed within this self appointed founders goal of the conservatives of 2011!
Did this guy take a poll of the founding fathers to figure that out?
However, if you'd like to actually use something from your link as evidence of the point under discussion, rather than pure BS comments about me, I'll be glad to listen.

Anytime someone tells a truth
that the left doesn't like,
suddenly the person is attacked
and viciously attacked
as a racist, or anti-woman, or
a homophobe, or a bigot.
And people can't seem to take criticism anymore without calling the whambulance and screaming PC police brutality.

In my travels, I've found the loudest whiners to be of the PC crowd.

Certainly they all aren't "far left" which is what the matter regarded.
Leftist was the term used. Even you used it. But good try.

Also there has been a sharp increase in mental health issues with the younger generations that can be at least partially linked to the current PC environment via things like micro aggressions which isn't good for anyone.
Trigger warning: Universities are now pumping out this sort of archetype like a factory.
Which was why I brought it up in the first place. This isn't speculation, this is fact. This is the norm, and the unfortunate reality of that is most college students/professors are on the left side politically. I dare say the far left side, and they are the future of America and have a big influence on society already.
Which is why I said earlier that over the last decade or so I have become increasingly scared of what the left has been morphing into.
