I witnessed this dynamic in Canadian universities during the late seventies and eighties. If graduate thesis did not support a certain hypothesis the candidate did not graduate due to a failings grade.

Universities have long been indoctrination centers for confirmity but US universities are acknowledged the world over as the worst. During the cold war era there was groundbreaking research being done behind the Iron Curtain on topics like innate gender roles and their biological basis and the genetic and endocrinological determinants of homosexuality etc while in US universities even then students were being indoctrinated that gender is a social construct imposed by the patriarchy and can be changed and that heteronormativity is unnatural and homosexuality and pedophilia are natural and desirable etc.

Psychology, as construced and practiced, is the textbook clinical example of a Mass Formation Psychosis Narcissistic Pathology Paradigm. This is at minimum by own rules out of the box, objective hypocrisy test.

Universities are not places of objective learning
