As a former language major in the early 90′s, I have to refute the idea that language departments are among the least disciplined. Actually, among the Humanities at the time I was in school, they were less tainted by ideology and agendas than subjects like political science and philosophy, more like engineering departments in that you were focused on things about the subject matter itself, like grammar, writing, morphology and syntax, though some literary study was involved. I actually went through my major fairly unaware of alot of the leftist stuff going on in the rest of the university and had quite rigorous training even if it wasn’t up to the level that I had wanted it to be.
