Liberal professors admit to openly discriminating against conservative peers

[kbate]

I'd love to see this English Lit assignment. It sounds more like an exercise in Poly Sci

Which is what I was wondering. My Eng Lit assignments were usually, "Read and report on everything written by Dickens by next week" or "outline every thought of Chaucer with extra credit if you do it in middle English".

We never had "think like a democrat" and Lord Keynes did not come up as "English Lit".

Didn't you know that Differential Equations was created to make the Right look dumb?

Obviously. And wasn't it Mensaboy that thought that differential and integral calculus were two separate subjects?

I wonder how liberal professors were hired at colleges and universities, such as Duke, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Stanford, Southern Methodist, Baylor, Abilene Christian, Oral Roberts, BYU.....

"Discuss the effect of liberal morals had on E.A. Poe when he wrote 'The Raven' and 'The Gold Bug'." Nope, never happened with me either. My Lit classes were: Read, report, add your views and opinons.

Translation: If some dumbass wants to write a thesis claiming Jesus had a pet dinosaur, or that Barack Obama was boarding school roommates with Adolf Hitler, it would be "discrimination" to call him a dumbass.

mercury14 Conservatives dont get hired as professors much because there aren't many who apply. Very few scientists are conservatives and educated people eschew conservatism as well.

I thought liberals had a real problem with intolerance and stereotypes. It sure looks like these two posts are just that.

Being a liberal and not seeing the slights and prejudice thrown in the path of conservatives is just as blind as not seeing those obstacles thrown before blacks or gays, simply because you're white or straight, and they go right over your head. The way grades are given, the way the 'right' questions are asked or answered; the way prejudice happens can be subtle, or it can be blatant. That's what this article should present, the fact that 95% of professors are liberal and openly discriminate against conservatives is a huge problem. It is a way of shaping students to a liberal agenda, the 2012 version of academic Jim Crow laws.

Being conservative has given you the jaundice view in which you accuse everyone else. We get it, you're conservative and EVERYONE is out to get you.

Could you explain how to solve this in a right wing fashion?

Dick and Jane is not English Literature. I'm sorry we cannot help you.

If there were a 95% bias against liberals in the university professor ranks, would you have a problem with that? Should we bring back the House UnAmerican Actiities committee to eliminate you from Hollywood? Or were you OK with that too?

No, I think you transposed a plus and a minus sign when you were factorising the numerator.

I thought I might have Left something out. :unhappy face thing:

My Intro to Economics professor was a conservative and no one discriminated against him, well, some Repubs did after he wrote a paper calling "trickle down economics" total garbage.

I had an economics professor (this was, uh, 30 years ago) who introduced himself to us by saying "I do not like Ronald Reagan--I consider him far too liberal." I liked him well enough.

And one of my Poli Sci profs had worked in the Eisenhower administration as a young man. He played it right down the middle, as I recall.

I'm not saying there's no such thing as overly political professor-ing. I can think of one case where I suspected someone was grading my opinions rather than how I expressed and defended those opinions. But once I figured out how it was going to be with him, I adjusted my approach, like a good grade whore.

I've found most of the complaints about "liberal academia" to be like the whines about the "liberal media"--if something isn't obviously conservatively slanted, why then, it must be liberal. But it's almost never that black-and-white.

You mean the Swiss Miss Michelle Bachman hasn't already?

That's common... REALLY common.

It's a tactic to develop liberal conformity, and now it isn't even an expectation that it should be done differently... sorta like expecting that blacks will drink from the labeled drinking fountain, and enter through the door round back!

It's both balatant and subtle... you're right about that much. But it can be, and is allowed to be just that in your face, and there's nobody willing or able to stop it... for now.

You can download the paper here: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2002636 It's 36 pages long. It hasn't been published yet (next month), and will be peer reviewed then, which is when you can really discuss its scientific merits.

But I'm willing to accept the conclusion.

Of course, the two men running the study are interested in human behavior, and if the majority of professors in the country were conservative my guess is they'd show exactly the same hesitation in hiring or awarding grants to liberals.

The take-away here is Birds of a Feather. But that shouldn't apply to hiring in higher education.
