If you don't, you will get failing grades by spiteful teachers and lose friends. This doesn't happen with people that support right-leaning views. This right here tells me everything I need to know about the people that support these views.

Modern America has plenty of "proclaim absolute loyalty to our group's canon or else" on both sides of the right/left divide. Maybe ask Congresswoman Liz Chaney for details?
Another part of the problem is the obsession with social media, and the "never forgets" nature of the internet. A half-ish century ago, on most campuses, your political/religious/philosophical beliefs could wander all over while you were at college, and it didn't much matter. Vs. now? My sense is that the kids all know a 24/7 lynch mob is waiting if they ever deviate from canon. And that studying the current canon, and stage-managing their professed views as that keeps changing, are their most critical tasks.

Oh please. Another dark money funded BS non profit from an asshole who’s anti-union, anti billionaire tax. They’re another PAC.
