OT Why academics are liberals
Why are academics so liberal?
Recent surveys suggesting academics are disproportionately liberal have caused some to conclude that universities discriminate against those holding conservative ideas. They further suggest that people be dismissive of anything emanating from "out of touch academics" because it does not reflect mainstream thought. Why are so many talented and highly educated people, chemists, artists, mathematicians, archeologists, psychologists, physicists, geologists, economists, biologists, and so on, liberals? What is it about getting an advanced degree and dedicating one's life to the study of important scientific and social problems that causes liberal views to emerge? My department hires the best possible teachers and researchers. Politics plays no role whatsoever in our Ph.D. admission or hiring decisions. The vast majority of us are professionals who would never let personal politics interfere with our academic conclusions. These conclusions often align with liberal ideas regarding scientific and social policy issues, and we promote such ideas vigorously because our goal is to make things better for all of us. We care deeply about this community, this state, about this nation and its role in the world. We pursue our academic interests with passion and intellectual integrity. We have families, safety concerns, we care about the values our children acquire. We live in the real world. Please don't be misled into dismissing us summarily as out of touch liberal professors whenever our academic conclusions challenge your beliefs. Listen to all viewpoints with an open mind and a critical ear, and then make up your own mind. |

The moron that wrote the original piece places the cart before the horse.......it is not "getting an advanced degree and dedicating one's life to the study of important scientific and social problems that causes liberal views to emerge" rather it is the liebral views that cause one to hide in academia where there failed ideas are accepted, unlike the real world where they would be doomed to failure. "Politics plays no role whatsoever in our Ph.D. admission or hiring decisions" but it has everything to do with granting tenure. "We pursue our academic interests with passion and intellectual integrity" .......and expect somebody else to pay for it. and it fits their political agenda "We live in the real world" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA |
I will post this as Chuck won't:

True, but the genius I responded to negated the value of half the people YOU just mentioned as being part of a good education. He's also assuming that all professors are simply regurgitating what was taught to them earlier. True for some, but certainly not all. If the genius thinks otherwise, then he either never attended college, or attended a lousy one, or was involved in nothing but sports. |

right-wing retardos..." Hiring is one thing...firing is another. Fire a "right-wing retardo" and like anybody else in this day and age, the dept. of labor is involved. discrimination suits are posted, and out of court settlements are usually made. Even if you/you're company are cleared and the firing is justified. you still get to sit in a hearing room and waste time and resourses. |

Quite to the contrary, nobody knows I am a conservative. I don't talk about politics at the office. I listen though. Highly doubtful considering your actions here, but possible. When I go to my draftsmen cubes, they have Rush on their radios. Rush? You consider Rush anything but an entertainer? Now you've lost any credibility you might have had. On a few rare occasions politics comes up. Never a disagreement. Yeah, it would be brilliant to disagree with the boss who obviously is an extreme right wing conservative. Give your employees credit, they have more sense than the boss when it comes to keeping politics to themselves in the work place. I've sold many a product to a right wing spewing idiots such as yourself. I have sense enough to keep my politics out of the work place. They work hard for a living. So do I, and obviously we are 180 apart in politics. You want to assume because I have a different political opinion than yours, I don't work hard for a living. Enjoy your fantasy. Their biggest joke when they talk politics is Hillary Clinton. Rush and Hillary bashing, sounds like a brilliant, objective, bunch you've gathered around you. Enjoy your little world. My secretary is a pro lifer. She has been with me for 8 years. She makes it known to all. She has a stick on rose on all of her picture frames. Wonderful, you've surrounded yourself with some people just like yourself. Don't assume what you've built is real world. I have to chuckle when you lefties speak. "I almost never have anyone come in blasting lefty stuff", yet here you go. Hey, it's just my own observation. I didn't say folks don't blast lefty stuff on the internet, I said they don't do it in real world personal interactions, in my experience. In your little focused engineering mind, can you possibly comprehend that there is a difference? You might be a prime example that people can be book smart but dumb as a sack of hammers. Hidden behind the keyboard. And you're not hidden behind your keyboard, hypocrite? What, no balls, afraid to challenge them? I have sense enough not to bring my politics into the work place, or to confront my clients or employees with it. I find it interesting that you profess I have no balls for not making my politics obvious, then you claim none of your employees know your a conservative. Are you admitting you have no balls while accusing me of having none, or were you lying when you said none of your employees know your political leanings? Only have the balls to do it from a keyboard on the net? Clue, dingleberry, we are both expressing our opinions from a keyboard. God help me if I ever have to have someone with your lack of objectivity do an engineering task for me. Too ashamed of your position? There is a difference between being ashamed and having the common sense to know when politics are out of place. I would guess you prove there is a big difference between plain old common sense and book learning. A typical left wing coward. A coward? Big words from behind a keyboard, don't yak' think? A closet Deaniac. A personal insult from behind your keyboard? What was it you were saying about folks who only have balls when they are behind the keyboard? You seem to fit the profile perfectly. Grow a pair of nuts and come out of the closet. For a guy who professes to be so well educated, you certainly seem to revert to adolescent behaviors quickly. Argyle bb |

When I worked at Paine Webber beginning in 1987, there was also the theory that people in that biz voted mostly Republican. But, there's something called the "Dewar's Effect" which brought out the truth in a number of instances. People often say one thing, but do another. You never know. |
