Very interesting. These are the type of engaging stories I like to read on FR. The intellectual conservative movement in the academy is very important to the health of the nation. Conservatives should not allow themselves to be portrayed as hicks.
If there were more conservative professors, Obama would not be sweeping the “college vote.”
I have a Masters Degree in Religious Education.
I make eyeglasses instead.
Why? I make more money in optics.
More $ = support family.
I do agree that we need more conservatives in academia.
My husband’s Ph.D is in physics and instead of becoming a professor he is truly a scientist 100% of the time. I wish he would teach. He was a great TA as a grad student.
