Well...there are closeted academics out here...who are conservatives. I've outed myself because I write letters to the local rags and I pass out Pro life stuff. I have not yet been sent to the Gulag for right wing teachers, but I don't expect to win any awards for teaching either...those are reserved for the die hard bleeders...lieberals/communists/socialists. I do not care AT ALL!
I would say that about 30% of teachers in general are conservatives. It's not a great number but it's better than the trial lawyers. I would have it no other way...I reach many people this way...chipping away at the left wing monolith of higher ed day by day.
Good for you. A brave soul.
