My son, Class of 2010, is very liberal. He has found that there are more liberal students on the yard than any of the reports want you to believe. As he says there are a lot of closet liberals out there that are just afraid to say anything! This also was a question that he asked while making his decision to attend.

Most of the faculty that he has had so far - he has only had “Military” instructors for the military classes Seamanship and Leadership - the rest have all been civilian tenure track faculty - of which he preceived as being either moderate or liberal. He has not found that he cannot speak his mind, in fact in one class he was looked upon by the instructor to give the “opposing view.” The nature of the Yard calls for respect of all opinions and my son has certainly found that to be the case.
