Can a movement similar to fascism emerge in the US?

Political bias in Universities (at least US universties) is widely accepted actually.  It's something that was actually directly taught in my sociology of buisness class... by a leftwing guy actually.

In general

Right Wing biased fields tend to be Math, Economics and Buisness.

Left Wing biased fields tend to be... everything else.

Most of the time you don't write papers based on the facts, but based on your professors opinions.

I made it a habit of acing all my classes from highschool on just based on analyzing my teacher and writing papers that fit perfectly with their views.

Here is a quick link about one study.  http://www.dailypennsylvanian.com/node/39861

 

Economics interestingly leftwing here... though it may have to do with the selection of the schools, as there are some schools that cater exclusivly to keynsian ideas still.

I have a problem with that article. It was only a quantitative research on what the political belief and affiliations of university proffesors are. It was not a qualitative research that studied how these proffesors structure their classes, and whether their political beliefs influence what they teach.

In some subjects you mentioned, such as Maths, there really is no room for political ideology (this would extend to all exact sciences, unless you consider things like "evolution" to be liberal idead). Many subjects from the social sciences or from the humanities tend to be liberal by default, mainly 'cause they were born from liberalism. Take something like Intercultural Communication for example, or Gender Studies. These subjects and conservatism are essentially incompatible.
