Bias at Boise State
Deciding to take The Leadership Institute’s Deep Blue Campus research initiative, an investigation by the Boise State chapter of the Youth for Western Civilization found that out of $8333 in donations to political parties by individuals who work for Boise State University, a staggering 94 percent went to the Democratic Party.
A single donation of $465 to the Republican Party kept the political contributions by Boise State University administrators and professors from being monolithically for the Democratic Party and candidates.
It is safe to say that the football field at Bronco Stadium isn’t the only thing deeply blue at Boise State, as the campus administrators and professors help to make our campus staggeringly Deep Blue.
We thank The Leadership Institute and CampusReform.org for giving us this idea.
Other schools across America have also followed suit and produced research showing the deep blue political leanings of educators, such as Boston College, where $82,504 was given to both parties by individuals who specified Boston College as their employer university: $5,257 was contributed to the Republican party by 5 professors (6% of total), whereas $77,247 was contributed to the Democratic party by 104 professors (94% of total).
YWC at Boise State
This is in response to the previous controversy we covered at Boise State. YWC is the only student group that will fight back against left-wing oppression on American college campuses.
Boise State University, located in one of the most conservative states in the Union, is still subjected to liberal guilt and ideology. BSU’s chapter has been formed by sophomore Erin Marlor and junior Gabriel Iacoboni. Recently on campus there has been much controversy. The Cultural Diversity director, Ro Parker, posted a photo of two African American women yelling “Shut the F*** Up White Boy!” at a timid white male on Cultural Diversity’s Facebook page without any explanation behind the photo. Ro Parker voiced that her hopes behind posting this photo would open up discuss and get students talking. Well, she was right, it got students talking! But not in the way she felt was correct. Her photo sparked anger and frustration towards the Cultural Diversity Center. So we decided to create Youth for Western Civilization here on campus, and fight back against this obvious intolerance and inequality.
Our hope with starting a BSU chapter of Youth for Western Civilization is to promote conservative values and ideas such as protecting our borders and real multiculturalism which includes equality for all races not just minorities. The Ro Parker event showed us that even on a campus in the state of Idaho students are not safe from intolerant liberal beliefs being pushed on campus.
