Stanford’s One-Party University

Developments on campuses from kindergarten through college help to show the prescience of author M. Stanton Evans’ law of inadequate paranoia: No matter how bad you think things are, when you look into them, you find that they are a lot worse.

“In a startling investigation, The Stanford review discovered that the Stanford faculty’s donations favored Obama over McCain by the astounding rate of 43-to-1[He better watch his back],” Jason Dunkel, the business manager for the alternative newspapers on campus, wrote in a recent fundraising letter. “The numbers from the conservative Hoover Institute were surprising as well.”

“Less than 10% bothered to donate during the campaign and those that did favored McCain by a mere 52%-48% margin.” Perhaps not too surprisingly, students at the Palo Alto campus tilt about as far to the left as their professors.

“Stanford students, meanwhile, raised even more red flags,” Dunkel wrote. “Campus exit polls suggest that roughly 90% cast their ballots for the Democratic senator from Illinois.”

“From top-to-bottom, then, liberals are all over Stanford University.”
