To: too much time
Why do teachers/professors become increasingly more liberal the higher one goes in education? There are plenty of conservative kindergarten teachers! Is it because the teachers with higher degrees are exposed to (brainwashed by) Marxist professors longer?

And the students get lower and lower test scores as they go through high school. Grade schools and middle school tests show pretty high then 9th grade and beyond, is pathetic and many drop out.

To: thirst4truth; too much time

A lot of it has to do with the nature of the graduate school system, which winnows out conservatives by topic (i.e., you can’t write about military history, or biography) and forces students into writing “social” or “ethnic” history in order to get a degree. Likewise, once in power in the university faculties, they only hire like-minded people.
