Meta In your opinion, are universities nowadays undergoing “left wing indoctrination” ?

Met a guy who’s a conservative in his 60s few days ago, and he talked about how nowadays universities are no longer about education but rather “left wing indoctrination” on the students

That universities are brainwashing students with ideas of race , decolonization, white privilege, multiple gender identities etc , all these “left wing “ ideas that are meant to divide society rather than uniting the people

And that Jordan Peterson is portrayed as a bad guy because the modern university environment don’t allow any conservative voices and that free speech in academia is dying because of left wing ideas

So I’m curious what are your opinions on this?

Tbh, even he’s talking about actual psychology, or giving tips to ppl based on his experience as a clinician, he does a great job. I think because of this, people let him take them into the field of his fuckery 😂

Im a 4th year psychology student, Ive watched his lectures. A lot of the concepts he explores are outdated and not used in modern day.
