According to a recently
released report by the Center for the
Study of Partisanship and Ideology, a center-right think tank that researches
partisanship in academic and scientific fields, almost 40 percent
of students at liberal arts colleges identify as LGBTQ.
The report, titled
“Diverse and Divided: A Political Demography of American Elite Students,”
stated: “Liberal arts colleges are the least politically diverse. Many have
almost no conservatives, and thus very low viewpoint diversity. But they have
high sexual diversity, at nearly 40 percent LGBT.”
The data used to
compile the report show that overall 23 percent of U.S. college students
identify as LGBTQ, a percentage similar to that of a February 2022 Gallup poll which
found that 20.8 percent of Generation Z identified as LGBT. (Perhaps the other
2.2% were “Q”s.)
Unsurprisingly, the report found that those who identify
as ‘very liberal’ are substantially more likely to say they are LGBT and that white,
left-wing activists are extremely likely to do so.
The report linked the trend of higher LGBTQ student
populations at liberal arts colleges to their majority female demographics. It
also noted that, at three of the 159 campuses surveyed, a majority of
students identified as LGBTQ. This was true of 51 percent of students at
Oberlin, 61 percent at Wellesley, and an incredible 70 percent at Smith
College. The latter two are women-only schools.
These results illustrate the continuing rapid rise
in the number of young people identifying as something other than heterosexual.
(Apparently, anything other than boring old heterosexual!
Mind-boggling.) “Just” 38 percent of Wellesley’s young scholars identified as
LGBTQ in 2016, so that bastion of higher education has experienced a 23 percent increase in non-heterosexuals in under
six years. At this rate, a decade from now you won’t be able to find a single
non-LGBTQ student on campus. Celebrate diversity!
Why did
God bother to make us male and female? (“Male and female He created them.”) It
appears fewer and fewer people wish to mate with and/or spend their lives with
members of the opposite sex, though a rapidly growing number of folks want to be
a member of the opposite sex. This is surpassingly strange and could only have
happened with the concurrent collapse of Christianity and the ascent of “higher
education.”
