“but often, truth is not their priority.”

In your experience. I realize arguing for academia in FR is a lost cause, but I will continue to do so. College Professors lean liberal, for a number of reasons, but there are many good professors who are conservative, or not political at all. (Some of the Boffins I know are brilliant but wouldn’t know a vote from a plow, but brilliant in applied mathematics).

Good that you correct your professors. Want to make a difference? Become one. You can set an example. Warning, the pay is awful, no job security, and you become a target of ire from both sides.

You're in the wrong university system. You should get yourself hired here in California in the UC or CSU system - they are plenty well paid and have full job security, especially once they get tenure. Just keep your mouth shut about any of the slightest possible conservative views you might have until after you get tenure.

I have to agree that most university faculty that I have known over the years would likely do far better than 55% on this very simple set of questions --- even the applied math guys.
