Not how I would have written it, but a promising first step. Public universities are accountable to the public, and it's important to make sure that they fulfill their intended purpose, which is as educational enclaves promoting learning and diverse thought. The far-left does not have a monopoly over public education, and the administrators and professors at these universities are employees of the state.
If they want tax dollars to indoctrinate students in neo-racialism, they're welcome to do it privately. Perhaps Soros will fund it.
I'm not sure how a school could balance out between left-wing and right-wing bias in the eyes of the illiberal right.
The scientific fields are either neutral or left-wing, because most anti-science thought comes from the right. Economics is a mixed bag... it's sort of biased to the left in a neo-liberal sense. Sociology and history are obviously going to be biased to the left, both in reasonable and unreasonable ways.
So, this effort just seems ridiculous. And we're like 6 months past right-wing authoritarians trying to overthrow American democracy after a moderate, neoliberal Democratic white guy won the presidency, so what's with the drastic measures, outside of riling up the rubes with a culture war because Biden is so boring?
