Graduate school: U.S. and Sweden

“Which brings me to one last observation, which will regrettably be to identify one not-so-flattering similarity between Swedish and U.S. university systems. American universities today appear to be heading down the same path as Swedish universities, in that they are adapting to the political climate, rather than being institutions for classical wisdom and critical thinking.

“Many theories taught today by historians, sociologists. and political scientists in the U.S. are presented as impartial, cutting-edge ideas. However, being a Swede, I know socialism when I see it, and I am forced to conclude that getting an apolitical education in the U.S. in many schools no longer is an option.”
