We’ve had national consensus on it for years. That’s why heretofore I could study philosophy in the most elite universities in the liberal northeast or in the most broad access public in the most conservative corner of the south. In each place, I could find that department and get what I want out of it. It is the movement of politics into the space of higher ed that has lead to the problem you describe, one that didn’t really exist before. And this happening because whenever a politician needs to find a boogeyman for why anyone has incorrect beliefs, he or she blames the universities. They make for an easy and soft target. It’s fake news.
