This is still in the main article. My recommendation is to remove it because, as you said, it is clearly inflammatory. As one who took a couple of political science classes 25 years ago, I don't think it is even true that political scientists assume anything about "change".
As a professional political scientist, I recommend it's removal. It is, in fact, true that political science as a discipline has more liberals than conservatives (conservatives, disliking government, are less likely to make a profession of studying it, so it's really just a self-selection process). But more importantly, the statement about change is probably false. Societies are dynamic systems, so non-change is not an option. Advancing technology, increasing or decreasing wealth, immigration or emigration, all will create changes. The political question between conservatives and liberals is not so much whether there will be change, but what kind of change to encourage or discourage and how to respond to the changes that actually happen.
