What would a bunch of liberal, left-wing academics have to gain by re-writing history in favor of the Republicans? How exactly did they re-write history? Their interest is in facts.

So all my extremely liberal profs and the writers of the text books are all part of some right-wing conspiracy? ok....

What is a reliable poll? They are inherently flawed and far from reliable.
Liberal,son you aint been paying attention,the William Kristols,and Milton Friendmans of the world have been taking over academia
When I was your age Ayn Rand was barely considered toilet paper,now its required reading
Well Michael Harrington is now forgotten,Mother Jones is nothing but a magazine,and Bill Buckley got everything he ever wanted
And the result on every single indicator,is absolute disaster.
No,I refuse to let the repugnants weasel out,saying its bad on both sides,or we didnt really want that.They got everything they ever wanted,have been striving for since 1968 and its a complete mess. Dont give me the defeatist "Oh well theyre all the same" or let them weasel out. You shit on your self your supposed to smell bad.
An old way of dealing with a chicken killing dog,you tie that last chicken around its neck,and let it rot.
That dog wont kill anymore chickens
I smell chicken
What in the hell are you talking about? Seriously.

I've never read Ayn Rand, let alone have it been assigned as required reading. I've never heard or read anything from any of the people you mention.

I live and go to school in Canada, where, particularily in academia, liberalism is the norm. My profs are almost universally self-described left-wing liberal socialists, to the point where I find it bothersome at times. Who are you to tell me, and them, what their views are when you have no idea who they even are?

And it is bad on both sides. It's not defeatist to say that. It's defeatist to say, well, this is what we have and it's the best we can do. The democrats are slightly less fucked than the republicans, it doesn't make them good.

I really don't understand what you're trying to say. You can generalize all you want, but it's not applicable to my situation, which you know nothing about.
