Why are conservatives ranting about America having mostly "liberal" universities &
"liberal" professors? Are universities & their professors really "liberal", or is it simply that the more educated & enlightened you are, the less conservative, close-minded, and bigoted you become?
Read Plato's "Allegory of the Cave", the original story of which all Western Philosophy is based on. It talks about this very issue.
Liberals = far more educated and enlightened, and therefore more open & tolerant of others and their differences. In fact, among college graduates were more likely to vote for Obama than McCain in 2008. Obama graduated from top Ivy League schools of both Columbia & Harvard, and was the President of the prestigious Harvard Law Review Board. Sarah Palin on the other hand bounced around 5 different community colleges, and took 6 years to earn a 4-year degree.
Of course, there are some conservative professors teaching in universities, but during my time in college I will say that the vast majority of them were liberal. At least 85%.
Anti-Censorship: Your response supports my original statement of many conservatives being uneducated.
Yeah, liberal Bill Gates and Donald "Bush is the Worst President Ever" Trump must do well working at McDonalds.
