☆ Progressive Elites and Their Sins - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2024-06-06 | by ( David Brooks | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The center of progressive energy moved from the working class to the universities, and not just any universities, but the elite universities. By now we’re used to the fact that the elite universities are places that attract and produce progressives. Today, we’re used to the fact that elite places are shifting further and further to the left. “Opinions of student writers at elite universities” in 2000, he found, “weren’t all that more progressive than those at nonelite ones.” But by 2023, opinions at The Crimson had grown about two and a half times more progressive than they were in 2001. More generally, Berman concluded, “Opinion sections at elite universities have gotten significantly more progressive, and they’ve outrun their nonelite counterparts.”
