this is a horrifying statistic: 40% of colleges have 0 Republican professors

[toobfreak]

Colleges generally demand people be educated and intelligent, and recognize reality. Many Republicans just don't qualify.

About as boneheaded and as disingenuous a slobbering excuse as any I've ever heard. Let me get this right------ you can spend 12 years in school and get a Ph.D., but if you happen to have a conservative POV, you are a knuckle-dragging troglodyte whose education and views simply don't count. You are simply a drooling idiot with an IQ of 65 totally out of contact with reality!

Wouldn't it be grand for conservatives to start pushing their way into positions of importance then systematically excluding liberals on these very same grounds; DISCRIMINATING against them purely on differences of political POV excluding them from work and job opportunities saying they were too stupid and out of contact with reality. Can you just hear the squealing and lawsuits now? Has there ever been greater proof of the dangers, arrogance and stupidity of the Fascist Left------ everything they claim the other side is, not allowed to teach, not allowed to even speak------ unless they bleat to the approved communist views of the dictatorial elite self-appointed Left that no one is worth their salt unless they think just like THEM.

That's funny----- the 1950's were one of the economically and socially healthiest and most prosperous times in our nation's history with some of the lowest tensions at a time when the Middle Class boomed!

No, it had its recessions, politically and socially and economically, even for the white, and for the people of color, in California or in the South or Michigan or New York, it was no picnic.

Thank you for confirming my point.

Why the fuck would a college faculty need political parties?

Does it not occur to you that the intelligentsia might see the folly of simplistic dichotomy thinking?
Nope, of course it doesn't.

Guess what Shitforbrains --- most PEOPLE are neither Republicans nor Democrats. Guess what else --- nobody's required to be either. And at the risk of Breaking News Overload --- it has no function in an educational environment.

Next time you obsess over getting your name on the internets by filling a message board with random shit --- think it through first.

Republicans are not that bright

They make better truck drivers than professors

Besides, they hate education

 

[Pogo]

And the other 60% of colleges have very, very few Republican professors, all in the Business Department. So students get almost 100% liberal/progressive indoctrination.

Once AGAIN --- "Republican" and "Liberal" are not opposites of each other. The former refers to a political party.

And we are doing so much better today? Did you miss the worst recession since the 30's? Rioting, looting and burning in Baltimore and other cities? Stagnant jobs, no pay raises, school shootings, threats of missile attacks? Race riots and social tension everywhere? Protests at colleges just for trying to give a different POV? Thanks for making my point. More people were happier and more prosperous and with more hope for the future in the 1950s than today.

It isn't just college universities that are overwhelmingly left of center, but the mainstream media, scientific institutions, and some other disciplines that participate in and promote leftist group think. These institutions were permeated by the grown up 'flower children' of the 60's as they moved on from the Woodstock era and started choosing professions. And as they tended to mentor and replace themselves with others like them, those institution gradually became more and more left of center.

And then, when they were influenced by the most radical and intolerant of the progressive movement, they produced environments unwelcome and hostile toward any conservative thought of any kind. If conservatives were able to gain a position with many of these, they encountered and still encounter so hostile or isolated work environment that most don't stay. Or they are forced out.

Until what is left of society able to see objectively and engage in critical thinking see that and deal proactively with it, it will only get worse. We are seeing some glimmers of hope and push back though and hopefully that will catch on:

If the OP were right, this would be a tough stat, but there it is: it's not.

Study the researcher's background, and then study and isolate the assumptions he makes in manipulating the numbers.

This is fake news.

The fabrication is part of the far right agenda to drag America back to the 1950s.

Not only does the blog not disclose its data source(s), it freely admits to the claimed data being full of holes ---
here for instance:

>> Of the 2017 top sixty-six U.S. News-ranked liberal arts colleges, fourteen are located in states that do not release voter registration data. <<​

Ah, no matter. We'll just "ass-sume". Unavailable data is of no consequence when you start with a conclusion and work backward.

To those who think we were better off in the fifties, pfftt. We know what is your real stat goal.

1950s were great if you were white, male and Christian

America was FOUNDED by white, male Christians! White Christians were the majority of the nation. So you agree that the 1950s was great for the majority of people. Then someone said: Let's make it great for the rest of the people, the Blacks, the Women, the minorities and Gays. But have we succeeded in that goal? If it is better for the Blacks, why are they more unhappy now than ever? If it is better for the women then why all the #MeToo lawsuits? If it is better for the minorities and Gays, then why all the unrest, lawsuits and protests? It has gotten somewhat better for some of these groups, BUT AT THE EXPENSE OF WHITE CHRISTIANS. So if the majority of people feel they are worse off, then the net gain for making it a little better for some minority groups is a STEP BACK. It is no gain for all if the majority must suffer so that a few can get ahead. If the present was really a better time, then it would truly be better for ALL, and no group has it "great" as it once was in the 1950s. Except the very rich.

When we make the Middle Class and America great again as it was in the 1950s for ALL people across the board, then you can tell me that we have actually "progressed." And perhaps that is the best explanation of the promise made by Trump: to make America great again for the Middle Class and for the Middle Class to enclose a wider diversity of people. Now whether or not Trump can really do that, especially with all the opposition, is another matter. But the question of whether the 1950s was great is moot-- -- -- it WAS. It just wasn't great for EVERYONE. The goal was to KEEP it that great and for more people; I submit that today we have FAILED in that goal to keep it that great for ANYONE, white, black, gay, anyone. The liberal agenda has failed because it sought to make America better for a few minority groups, but AT THE EXPENSE of the majority.

Democrats are smarter.

Let's be honest here. All of you on both sides have received repeated beatings with the stupid stick.

My son attended HOFSTRA and almost all of the professors are required to have real jobs in addition to teaching.
90% of his professors were Independent or Republicans.

Since Liberalism is what founded this country and wrote its Constitution, forgive me if I fail to see a reason for alarm just because some bloggo-wag declares "Boo".

Off the topic anyway, since the thread was trying to make a point about political party affiliation --- which is certainly not the same thing. People affiliate with a political party for all sorts of reasons that have nothing to do with personal philosophies including developmental tradition and ability to participate in local and/or state affairs. Nobody, however, needs a freaking political party to teach at a university.

The OP --- who has, as is typical of him, run away now that he got his name on the internets --- continues to labor under this fatally simplistic false dichotomy that declares all sentient beings must fall into one of two bags, labeled "Republican" and "Democrat", the mindlessness of which is self-evident.
