Political science/Talk

Since academia has a heavy left-wing bias, academics sometimes treat political science as if it was the study of change. This is because academics don't like conservativism. In fact, however, non-change is always an option for any society.

I've removed the above from the main article. It is probably true as far as it goes (as a statement of present-day Western academics, anyway, as far as I know), but any potentially inflammatory remark like this needs to stated very diplomatically and fairly (see neutral point of view). I don't feel confident enough of my knowledge of political science to try to make an improvement. Anybody? --Larry Sanger

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".
