    My feeling is that many posters, probably the younger ones, are missing the pernicious effect that the multigenerational hiring of radicalized professors has had on higher education. This generation's low seniority instructor becomes the next generation's department head and/or school administrator. They hire similar radicals until they almost completely control curriculum and create their kind of campus intellectual climate that is generally intolerant to dissent.

    I don't know what you're talking about.

    Right wing professors are not hired at public universities because the people doing the hiring are left wing themselves.

    Public funding contributes a large portion of the tuition and other expenses at state universities. Students are not given any money to go to the university (or for expenses), unless they are on some form of financial aid, and usually those are just loans.
    So the markets have decided then. There's nothing to cry about it. If enough students cared about it, all those universities would cease to exist. Your public universities couldn't stay operational with current or historic levels of public funding. Students (or their parents) have voted with their wallets again and again.

    How nice of you to tell college-aged students and their family to spend a fortune on private universities because the public ones are filled with radical professors.

    Must be nice to be so cavalier with other people's money.

    Oh i'm not telling them how to spend their money, they are telling me how they've spent their money. It appears they don't mind enough to do anything about it. If there was enough demand for conservative leaning public universities they would exist. There is nothing stopping them from setting up shop and asking for public funding. Or maybe we are to believe that this left leaning conspiracy somehow extends to every state. By magic in states where conservatives hold majority in every governing body/position they somehow still can't get shit done.

    the reality is that certain professions are more likely to pull in people of a certain political ideology.

    it shouldn't be surprising that people inspired to be educators are more likely to be liberal. same with journalism. you can complain that liberals are overrepresented in these areas but that's not likely to ever change and it's not because of some global conspiracy.

    how many republican social workers do you think are out there?

    on the flip side, i'm sure the majority of hedge fund managers, business owners, etc. are republicans.

    Depends, are we including the items negotiating off the bill as well?

    Druff, don't take this as a troll, more of an honest opinion based on your posting.


    I consider you to be more brainwashed than a communist college freshman.

    Unfortunately, truth is independent of its source. Either these things were said or they weren't. I can find no evidence that they weren't said. I'm always open to reevaluation should new contradictory evidence appear. I'm not constantly angry, just constantly disappointed in the quality of American college faculty and the current reign of terror of campus political correctness.
    These things were said by a wacko. Don't you realize there is a left, a right and an up and down

    Logical fallacy part ITT would be faulty generalization. Find a loony that "represents" something and then draw wide conclusions from it. The reason Druff doesn't see a problem with that is because he does it all the time.
    Public funds pay for the radical left professors at these universities.

    This isn't about capitalism.

    I am not saying that anything here "represents" anything else.

    Just that it disgusts me to know that these loony professors are being paid with tax dollars, and nothing is ever done about it.
    You and a lot of your minions are right sick. Isn't it Betsy Voss who basically wants to privatize schools in general. You know like the airlines, the prisons, the health industry the EPA. See where you are now, I think it's too late for any turnaround. It's like hearing little kids talk.

    Then you aren't very good at reading comprehension.

    Whether you agree or disagree with my political opinions, they are not a rehash of Republican or alt-right talking points, and that should be clear after reading enough of what I write.

    There have been several times within the past year that I have expressed political opinions which differ from both the mainline Republican Party and its further-right critics.

    While I am definitely a conservative and clearly side more with Republicans on most issues, I consider each one individually and form my own opinions.

    You don't need to accuse someone of being brainwashed just because their opinions differ from your own.
