We report on the progress of our program to measure the optical and infrared polarization of high redshift radio galaxies (z>0.7). In addition to reporting our detections of polarized optical and/or infrared emission from six galaxies we present a map of the extended polarized emission from 3C 265. The observed high level of polarization in these high redshift radio galaxies suggests that a substantial fraction of the UV emission is either scattered (by dust or electrons) or produced by a nonthermal source. The implications of these observations on the standard models for the alignment effect, the nature of the stellar populations of these galaxies, and AGN unification schemes will be discussed.
