Is anyone else getting the feeling that this is happening by design?
Campus Reform reports:
Majority of liberal college students not proud to be American, favor socialism, NDSU survey findsFindings from a new North Dakota State University survey reveal that the majority of students identifying as liberal or liberal-leaning are not proud of America.In response to the question “Are you proud to be American?” 57 percent of liberal identifying students answered ‘no’. This is in contrast to the 73 percent majority of conservatives who answered ‘yes’ to the same question.This response was generated from a nationwide survey which asked over 400,000 students from more than 1,000 American college campuses questions about their feelings on a number of social and political issues. NDSU publicly announced the survey on Thursday.Campus Reform reached out to NDSU professors John Bitzan and Clay Routledge, the survey designers, who explained their surprised reaction to the data.“This is a surprising result. Previous work done by Clay Routledge shows that most Americans are proud to be American, regardless of political party, gender, race, religion, income, or employment status. We don’t know why college students answered in this way, but the differences between answers by college students and the general population on a very similar question seem to suggest something unique that is worth further exploration,” the professors jointly commented.The annual survey, released by the Sheila and Robert Challey Institute for Global Innovation and Growth, is conducted each year in order to measure and identify problems within aspects of the college experience such as freedom of speech and diversity.
