An influx of conservative teachers into the field could stem the liberal tide in education as well.

try being a conservative teacher in the lion's den of liberalism - it isn't just the colleges that are stacked top heavy with liberals - conservatives need not apply - only a few will squeak through

I am a conservative teacher, although I'll admit my area is pretty conservative, as are most of the teachers I know.

Yes, there are a lot of liberals in the teachers' colleges, especially if you're taking graduate-level classes. Classroom teachers mostly laugh at them behind their backs, and figure that if they got out of their "academic ivory towers" and "into the trenches" with us they'd change their tunes soon enough. ;-)

Nonsense. Most every teacher who came from my conservative college is conservative. Most of them have jobs.
