And the conservative college professors?

I see... in NOBBY-World, only conservative college professors have ever
held jobs outside academia, and children of Republicans always grow up to
be conservatives...

Wait a minute, wasn't it you that pointed out something about Darwin and
pangenesis?



The best instructors at the dental school also held part-time faculty
practices.


I think that's true in any field. Certainly in engineering & medicine. And
yet, somehow about 99% of the engineering profs I currently know are
pretty strongly anti-Bush/Cheney. Does that make them "sheltered
liberals"?

That is more a matter of demographics than anything else. The engineering
profs that I knew were almost all Republican conservatives. Of course, my
school (Purdue) was in the reddest of towns in the reddest of states.





Teaching is a noble profession. But at the college level, a good teacher
needs real world experience to truly be effective.


Agreed, and IMHO experience in the field is necessary for anything above
the grammar school level.

BTW please read the current Jane Bryan Quinn column about the housing
market. She's right on the money.
