Ivy League Faculties Fail The 'Sodom And Gomorrah' Test: “Elite universities have been so thoroughly captured by the left that they are no longer capable of reforming themselves to offer an ideologically balanced and intellectually diverse education. Declaring that institutions are beyond repair should not be done lightly. The Bible offers an instructive lesson on this. Before judging the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham bargains with God so that the cities would be spared if even 10 righteous people could be found there…….To search for these 10 conservative scholars who might redeem the Ivy League, I looked at campaign contributions from people who described themselves as professors at these eight universities in support of Donald Trump There were only two professors, both at Cornell University, from the entire Ivy League who contributed to Trump’s campaign.”
