It's long been a pet-peeve of mine how a very rigid set of left-of-center (very left-of-center values) are pushed on students by faculty under the guise of being "open minded".
George Will put together a good article with examples of these practices with regards to social work programs on college campuses, but I assure you it is rampant in other programs, from education to philosophy, theater to environmental sciences. If you do not buy the politics with the course work, you will not pass.

Schools' mission statements, student manuals and course descriptions are clotted with the vocabulary of "progressive" cant — "diversity," "inclusion," "classism," "ethnocentrism," "racism," "sexism," "heterosexism," "ageism," "white privilege," "cultural imperialism." What goes on under the cover of this miasma of jargon? Just what the American Association of University Professors warned against in its 1915 "Declaration of Principles" — teachers "indoctrinating" students.
