If I presented history in my classes with such bias (either way), I could kiss my tenure goodbye. Articles like this cherry pick extreme examples, and people who’ve never been to college howl about something that doesn’t exist.

College teachers at all levels reflect society: 25% are conservative, 25% are liberal, and the rest just do their jobs.

And, for the record, I’ve been teaching for ten years or so, and worked for Reagan in both campaigns. And I admit this in public.

For those who get emotional about articles like this without attending actual college history courses, look up “external validation.” You know you want to.

Excuse me where did you get that statistic,

“College teachers at all levels reflect society: 25% are conservative, 25% are liberal” ?

Can you site your source?

Furthermore, I don’t believe for ONE SECOND that stat. College staffs are notorious for being known as leftist.

College teachers, like reporters, editors, and other media types, at all levels reflect society: 25% are conservative, 25% are liberal, and the rest just do their jobs?

Teachers, at all levels, are very often immature and feministic, in my family's experience. And "immature and feministic" makes 'em bleeding, flaming liberals, by about the same 80/20 lib/conservative margin that reporters and other newsers fall into.

So where are all the campus Nativity scenes and quadrangle Christmas caroling? How about displays at Thanksgiving honoring the Pilgrims, or art shown at Easter exalting in the Risen Lord?

I suspect you would never even think of asking those questions.

And maybe 25 percent of college teachers are conservatives -- if you factor engineering and the hard sciences into mix which don't factor into the attempts to change society via indoctrination -- and 50 percent apolitical but they aren't the ones running things.

Gee I have a Master's degree and studied history extensively in undergrad. Let me just say there was only one--one class in all off my years that a faculty did not either push their liberal, political agenda, teach history from the Howard Zinn POV, or just plain rant about Republicans and how bad they are. I am not going to even discuss the constant attacks I heard--vicious at times--on Christians or Christianity.

You're stat are way off too. Please site your source.

There is plenty of information about the political leanings of college faculty.

At the Univ. of Pennsylvania, for one example, the ratio of registered Democrats to Republicans is 12 to 1.

I expect that the ratio among those college faculty members not in the hard sciences, business, and economics would be a 100 to 1. ( My guess.)

Dont’ believe me? Do a Google combinations of the words: Percent Democrat faculty college.
