The reason it’s important that even Americans should know what “liberal” actually means, at least in context, is exactly statements like this one.
A “liberal college” is a college that teaches “liberal arts.”
Language studies, history, psychology, writing, philosophy, etc.
It is not a political designation. Sure, they’re probably going to trend left, both American and actual, because of all the gathered knowledge and empathy, but this is exactly why letting “liberal” to be a synonym for “Democrat” is a mistake.
You’ve got people, unironically, in these comments talking about him replacing a “liberal college with a conservative one.”
He didn’t replace anything. He just sabotaged a school.
I wasn’t really using it as a political designation, I was referring to that it is a free and open thinking college. One where right wing views could be freely aired alongside left wing. I’m aware that it has adopted something of a political meaning also, but I don’t really like that bastardisation, particularly as it sometimes seems to be almost the opposite of the common meaning of the word.
The college was free and open, now it isn’t. The college hasn’t exactly been removed, but you could remove it from a list of colleges like that, which is sort of the meaning I was going for.
I’d love it if you took your argument to hexbear though lol. That would properly get them riled up. Don’t do it though, they’re not worth your time.
