Not all teachers. I work with several who are Conservative in my school alone, and I know several others in other school systems in the region. We just tend to be somewhat outnumbered, so our influence isn't as widespread as it could be with larger numbers of right-leaning folks taking up the field.
Oh, and not all teachers are "mal-educated" as you so delicately put it...
You protest too much. Do you really think I was criticizing the brilliant, thoughtful teachers in my life, or such journalists as Sharyl Attkisson, a thoughtful, brilliant and honest reporter?
Yet, I stand by the claim that as a class journalists and teachers are of the lesser performing learners and less qualified professionals.
As a teacher, I’m sure you know this, as did I discover when I became a high school teacher. I also happen to know many journalists, including some rather smart ones who would be reviled around here, and even those would agree that, as a class, journalism is not made up of higher-order thinkers.
I have worked with brilliant teachers — but I can count them, as opposed to the uncountable sea of others that I have come across who are under-worked, over-paid, and maleducated — and who, I guarantee it, wouldn’t for two seconds understand BiteMe’s ludicrous, dangerous, lying assertion that the only way to defeat inflation is to inject more money into the economy. Instead, they’d spew that lie back to students and readers.
