You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. The intellectual protest movements that railed against western culture in the 20th century have become the very thing they hated, a cold orthodoxy that enforces dogma through social pressure, control of major institutions, and the suppression of alternate viewpoints. The modern left is not exceptional, nor progressive. It is a religious and social movement aimed at forcing societal change akin to the Inquisition, the jihadist movement, the Cultural Revolution, etc, not that any leftist will admit that.
I love the complexity and diversity of ordinary people in ‘suburbia’ (our own ‘Midwest’) which others who seek to rebel against the grain condemn as boring, stereotyped and mundane. It’s funny that apparently intelligent, self-aware ‘rebels’ (aka left modernists) think they’re so better informed about life’s vagaries than ordinary ‘straight-laced’ folk. They usually learn their error when they get older, although many don’t.

I have a better idea: avoid these places altogether if you want an education. The list of brilliant, accomplished autodidacts is long.

Woke is the sphinkta nestling between the twin cheeks of communism and fascism together comprising the totalitarian our soul.

This was a weird article. Has any university increased its proportion of right-wing students or faculty in the last ~10yrs? Doubt it. Meaning no offence to the universities of Arkansas, all this shows is that lower-tier institutions follow the same fashions as their more prestigious betters, just a few years behind the curve.
‘Viewpoint diversity’ is the last refuge of every purged faction: the Girondins, the Mensheviks, and now the classical liberals.

I am very happy that surrogacy exists, it was my saving grace and the only chance for me to become a mother! I am so happy now, thanks to the Feskov clinic in Ukraine and the surrogate mother!

…or that many leftists even know that.
