These account for 74% of bachelor's degrees issued 2018-2019.

The assumption is that the remainder follow a roughly similar split - they're unlabeled, so assuming the same valid-fake distribution as the rest of the dataset is the best we can do.

found this web site. that lists majors by political leaning. No idea where the numbers come from, but presumably they have a basis other than an assumption.

Presumably. The proportions aren't listed, though, and they don't map cleanly to the other dataset.

His premise that college graduates are evenly split is wrong too. Pew Research found that college graduates skew democratic. My calculations say 59% of college graduates are Democrats.

That's not right. The 2016 election, in which graduates (docs excluded, since we're looking at bach degree stats, and they're negligible in number regardless) skewed more left-wing than usual, was still split 49-45, with 'some college' splitting 43-53 in the other direction.

A way they get students to take socjus classes is by promising that it will be easy "A"s. As long as what you write aligns with their viewpoint, of course.

Essentially. They also stretch definitions of various credits. At some colleges, there are 'intro to gay studies' classes that cover like three different Gen. Eds, while something like Music and Ancient Germany covers one.

Business degrees generally encompass management and economics, and soforth, and, at their best, serve as effective sorting mechanisms for populating corporate America (though they are doubtlessly less useful today). They'd also be fairly right-leaning, if anything, for the purposes of this analysis. The fake/gay degrees I included were social science and psychology, which are objectively worthless majors unless you're one of a very small handful of competent psychology people (at that point, you'd major in neuroscience, though, and be counted with the med students).

In general, there are a few gay socjus courses that cover a bunch of the 'requirements', but you can also just take a few relatively normal classes, like 'Introduction to Logic' or 'Music Writing 101'.

Regrettably, this is how I learned that I will never have any musical talent.
