Not consistently lambasting you holisticly isn’t necessarily a good thing.

But maybe there is a role for non profits where young workers can prove their worth without hurting a firm’s profits.

Yes, just about any university you want to look at harbors many kinds of crazy and its own version of political correctness. Based on the links you provided that indoctrination attempt was rejected by students and faculty at Delaware.

Nobody likes being told what to think. Least of all college students.

It’s not like the GMU Economics Department lacks for a predictably unified point of view on the most controversial economic and political issues.

I agree that there is plenty of left wing political correctness on most college campuses. I saw it when I was in college and I’m sure they saw it when they respectively went to Penn State, UNH and the University of Delaware.

Even so, I never once heard of (either myself or from them) the idea that “only volunteer work for non-profits qualifies as doing good.” If they heard it they never mentioned it.

My daughter started her own engineering business within a few years of graduating college. One reason she started her own business was precisely because the thought she could do the most good in a private for profit business that she could control. She is in Colorado and had (as an employee at another firm) been doing things like designing outdoor heated Koi Ponds and long driveways with built in snowmelt. She is now very busy consulting on ways to be more energy efficient. I can assure you she is not bashful or apologetic about making money.

One of my sons works as an attorney in a department of state government concerned with regulating state licensed professionals. He spends most of his time telling various regulatory boards they don’t have (and shouldn’t have) the power to do the things they want to do. He is a fountain of tales of government inefficiency and plans to go into private practice within a few years.

My other son does have more stereotypically politically correct left wing views. In each case their basic political orientation was in place long before college.

Just about every community and point on the political spectrum has its own version of political correctness. And they should be called out. But not by caricaturing them beyond recognition.

Most people prefer to have their own views echoed back to them. I prefer to visit sites like this one where I am more likely to hear my own views challenged in a thoughtful and interesting way. I am more likely to comment when I think you have failed at that. I hope that doesn’t come of as disrespectful. I do find value in your blog and I liked your last book quite a bit.
