at least the charges of "Liberal Bias" have made some of the Universities take a look at the issue.

"Graduate School of Education professor Julie A. Reuben said that she believed the abundance of liberals in academia could be due to the fact that as people become more educated, they tend to become more liberal."

I am reminded of the saying, "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach."

As people become more intelligent, they become more conservative, because they deal in facts not speculation, theory, and drivel.

Oh that is preciously blind ... lol ... She admits its almost all liberals teaching college kids, and then concludes that as you are going through college and getting more educated, you are becoming more liberal ...

Only a liberal could drip this kind of drivel.

Well, at least for as long as it takes for these studies to be forgotten.

Its simply a cultural thing. Academia attracts liberals because it is a liberal culture, it almost has to be. Conservatives tend to get REAL jobs and do REAL work :) Ok, I know, educating our people is a real job, but ya get my drift.

Here is an example. Mens figure skating in the West is largely a homosexual thing. On the other hand, there are plenty of hetero Russian figure skaters. Just a cultural thing.

“I would have assumed that there is a high degree of self-selection rather than discrimination,” Reuben said.

Yup. That's gotta be it. That's how the dixiecrats saw "Jim Crow" policies, too.

"Wah, it's jes' that all these people want to be around others just like themselves, that's only natchrul, isn't it? So natchallee, they don't want them "other people" around dirtying the place up."

Face it - liberals think that their predominence in academia is natural, because they are all smarter, more enlightened than the rest of us. And in the liberal echo chamber of academia, it resounds without question.

As people do better, they start voting like Republicans—unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing.

The ocean in some places is very deep! more study required.

Never fear with our superior education and intellect which accounts for our liberal bias we can study this for decades.

As long as it doesn't affect the poor, women and children the most there is no pressing need, of course if the women and children are conservetives they don't count anyway.

hegemony is what the radical feminists achieved in the early 1970's:

promote white women,
promote foriegners,
promote minority women,
promote gays


exclude white males, especially if they are conservative, heterosexual or religious.

if a white male gets into academia, then he must be radical left.

the result is that you don't see many black males in academia. this was first noticed by the anthropologist marvin harris who published a book in the early 1970s. he said that after a century of discrimination, when it was about time for black men to succeed, then white elitist females took the positions in academia and government.

asian males make their own place in the sciences, engineering, and medicine.

a few mexican males get to teach reconquista.

many universities boast international faculties. it goes without saying that they are communists or socialists.

Look. It's simply a bunch of nerds who stay in "academia" in order to increase their odds of getting laid.

My retired gay uncle remained at a university his entire adult life. He never left "academia" to this day, as he is still a consultant at the university he was previously the dean at.

Oh I'm just choking on this statement.

Quite the contrary, as people, in the real world, become more educated they become more conservative.

Oh the lofty educated liberal elites..... who can not see the forest for the trees. Tread not on me.
