To what extent do you believe there is a lack of political diversity on U.S. campuses?

There is multi-cultural and social diversity on our college campuses — they seek diverse student bodies.  Yet political diversity these days is nearly as explosive as it was in the sixties, and administrators opt to avoid or mitigate campus disruptions.  I feel that as conservatives in universities increasingly continue to be in the minority  — the right-wing agenda is to push ever harder, foisting their most extreme propagandists, like Ann Coulter and Milo Yiannopoulos, on our liberal students, who for the most part don’t want to hear their hateful, regressive rhetoric.  There is a huge shift of consciousness upon us that is playing out; many feel uncomfortable with it.  White, straight males feel threatened under this changing paradigm.   There was a revolution of consciousness in the sixties, swept in by our youth; and there seems to be a reoccurrence of that revolutionary thought and action in play today.
