What I think is revealing is that according to the internal poll data, a lot of college students vote democrat, then move on and get good jobs and later vote republican..(just a generalization, I know) ....but if that college student stays in an academic setting they get pretty radically democrat. I don't want to plagarize another Freeper, but he summed it up as "simple...professors never really had to make it in a real business environment, so they are democrats"
Sounds pretty close to me.
My oldest son, on the other hand, has built up a resolve to the liberal indoctrination at the middle school level. (13 yrs) May he be the exception to the rule!
