Washington Times ^ | 10/6/16 | Brad Richardson

A new study confirms what even the most casual observer of higher education has long known - that conservative professors are vastly outnumbered by liberal ones - but it also shows the problem is getting worse.

I'm sure they count anyone who has even the most milquetoast, politically correct Republican views as a "conservative". Genuine conservatives are probably outnumbered 500 to 1.

And this is after 12 years of liberal indoctrination growing up. It’s amazing there’s a conservative out there.

They know they can keep their jobs much easier if they are liberal even if some may hold private views otherwise.

From Investor's Business Daily (IBD), August 27, 2008:

"Ayers, now a tenured distinguished professor of education at UIC, works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.

One of Ayer's descriptions for a course called 'Improving Learning Environments' says prospective K-12 teachers need to 'be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and ... be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, teaching for social justice and liberation.

The Annenberg papers are quite extensive - 132 boxes containing 947 file folders with 70 linear feet of material. They undoubtedly contain more surprises regarding Obama's relationship with Ayers, one of many relationships Obama has sought to hide.'..."

Like news it is all relative. FOX is ultra right compared to the rest of MSM but this election shows they are more left than they appeared.

A well-paying profession with tenure, extended vacations and no real-world accountability, and we’re surprised that it’s chock full of leftists?

Where “conservatives” are defined as anyone who doesn’t actively work to destroy our country.

Last year my daughter had a commie American history teacher, and she and I had a great time rebutting his nonsense in her papers — I found the sources to refute everything he taught, and she learned so much from that exercise.

To his credit though, he gave her an “A” on all her weekly papers and for the course.

Exactly. I’m actually encouraged at the ratio.

The way that Sh*t Fume and the rest of the Fox News hacks pimped for Romney last time - a man without a conservative bone in his body - pretty much convinced me of their uselessness.

The foundational research stems from FR links. What a treasure trove.

I’m sure it is.

No wonder the Millenials are so screwed up. Whatever happened to diversity? If Trump wins, that will show that a majority of Americans are conservative, so public universities financed with taxpayer money ought to reflect that philosophy.
