Can you be a Social Worker with Conservative/Right-Wing views?

Post Body

I’m currently studying a MSW and have since found that my political viewpoints have done a complete 180 & shifted to the left, so much so that I would even call myself a Socialist. However, before commencing the MSW, I would have classified myself as Conservative (I even supported Trump back in 2016 - although I’m not American).

Today my brother (who is Conservative & consumes alt-Right YouTube content) insinuated that my university has “brainwashed” me & that I am only being leftist because that’s what the field of Social Work requires.

So my question is: is it possible to be a “Conservative Social Worker” or is the field of social work so progressive, that that kind of mindset just won’t work?
