USC Gleefully Proclaimed “Less Conservative”
December 28th, 2003 | by mtpolitics |USC sheds conservative image, trumpets the headline, and we couldn’t be any happier.
At least that’s the impression you get when reading the article.
Here are some choice quotes:
She said recruiting Democrats for the club has gotten easier every year. “Each incoming class is more politically aware and less conservative,” Sumner said.
Are the two are mutually exclusive
A professor opines:
“USC students are far brighter and much more discerning than they were when I first came here,” he said. “A lot of people don’t know what’s happened here, how the grade point average has gone up.”
Let’s read between the lines, here: GPA’s are going up, which means that, by and large, the students are smarter. Since we’ve started getting smart students, the campus has gone liberal. Q.E.D.
“Other college Democratic clubs in the state say, ‘Oh, USC, we’re surprised you even have a Democratic club,’” Sumner said. “People view us as rich kids who vote Republican because [our] parents do.”
Those damned rich Republicans. Heaven knows there’s no such thing as a rich Democrat.
Those are just a couple of the doozies. You really need to RTWT to feel the love.

You have to admit that USC has always had a reputation for high academic standards.
Now that the anecdotal evidence seems to indicate that the student body is beginning to lean towards the Dems rather than the GOP I wonder if The Emerging Democratic Majority is being sold in the USC bookstore. Although I would laugh if The I Hate Republicans Reader: Why the GOP is Totally Wrong About Everything is actually what the kids are reading.
Besides if I remember correctly wasn’t one of USC’s Heisman Trophy winners during their “conservative heyday” none other than O.J. Simpson?
I wonder if that means anything…

It’s still all about 2000 and how algore was “robbed” by the Electoral College.
If the new “enlightened” students are more politically aware, you would think that they would have read the Constitution.
