Are Social Sciences and Humanities, including US History, college courses taught from a progressive framework? https://youtube.com/shorts/ya7RxYMzeC4?si=17KuPoXBNy3hZYju
Anywhere? Sure. Everywhere? No. As pervasively as conservative media personalities would have people believe? Also no.
I havent watched the YouTube video linked, but I've taken courses that were obviously written from a conservative perspective and those obviously written from a more left-wing perspective. I think most courses will land somewhere in the middle, and when done well, you won't feel an obvious ideological bent.
Hello! My personal impression is that more courses are from a liberal perspective because, well, conservative people are probably more likely NOT to study sociology or history and/or teach it. It might be a cliche, I know that, but it fits my personal observation. Best regards, Mac Juli
We could just as well ask, Are business courses taught from a conservative framework? And the answer might be more telling. Business areas are by far the most common majors in the US.
There is some "evidence for the counter-intuitive conclusion that cultural conservatism has more often been associated with left-wing than with right-wing economic attitudes within nations around the world. Within mass publics, the organization of cultural and economic attitudes along the right–left dimension seems to be the exception rather than the rule." The above research examined "the relationship between two preference dimensions that are widely recognized as central to ideological differences between the right and left: the economic dimension, which concerns redistributive social welfare preferences and views about the proper scope of government economic involvement, and the cultural dimension, which concerns views on matters such as sexual morality and immigration."

Imagine writing that and not including even a reference to the Nolan Chart, which says the same thing and has been around since 1969.
According to that chart Libertarians and Centrists should be alarmed about present day policies and politics coming out of DC.
Basically, today's GOP has been taken over by what William F. Buckley called “the fever swamps of the berserk right”.
