You are acting as though young people these days aren’t more liberal than the older generation. Younger generations hold views that differ significantly from those of their older counterparts. It’s only natural that younger professors are going to be more tolerant and open minded than the 75 yr old geezers they are replacing.
And yes, it is a positive if you have professors who will combat blatant misinformation. I took a course with Kesler and he failed to correct a student who asserted that the capitol rioters were actually all BLM protesters. And then when I took Rossum he made us watch an hour long speech by Clarence Thomas about converting to catholocism which had nothing to do with Constitutional Law. That is not the type of education that is becoming of a top liberal arts college. I’m not saying all professors should be overtly liberal. In fact one of the most popular Government professors at the college, Pitney, is a never-Trump Republican. You can be conservative and still teach fairly and truthfully.
Unless you are an alum of CMC you don’t have any say in what direction the college should go in. If you want to create a niche for conservative professors then how about you advocate for it at your own alma mater? Why must CMC be the sacrifical lamb when it can and has moved towards progress?
