Univ of Mich DIVERSITY DEPT has 93 full-time employees.

Certainly at my current university, in the coursework that I'm doing (Native American Studies), we are top-heavy on the tree-hugger, social justice side of the spectrum -- and that is fine with me. While all of my professors have either masters or doctorates and are of course extremely professional in the classroom, there is an undercurrent at times of great sorrow and anger at the loss of their ancestral language, culture, spirituality, and way of life following colonization...

Injuns had a culture and spirituality?? HAHAHA. You clowns didn't have a written language or even wheels.!! You were savages and colonization is the best thing that happened to your people. Now the white man feeds and houses you and your big worry is getting too fat.
 
That is super groovy.

But the rightwing claim is that "universities" are political indoctrination machines.

Not that "native American" or "women's studies" departments are- - departments which at the scale of a university, are actually tiny and relatively insignificant in the overall academic bureaucracy.

Bottom line: the reich wing needs to get their story straight!

I also think the preservation of language, culture, and tradition is not necessarily a left-wing or rightwing thing. I certainly have met many people from eastern European - immigrants and natives - keenly interested in maintaining orthodoxy and Slavic cultural tradition, traditional social norms, and tradioonal religious practices.

For any Trumpanzee to imply that native americans are some sort of Marxist-Socialists for wanting basically the same thing seems way off the mark to me!

Who the hell says super groovy?
