John Wixted has the breakdown for both liberal institutions.
Here's more evidence... Let Freedom Ring offers a prime example of twisted "Bush Derangement Syndrome" in academia- Iver Bogen, a professor emeritus in the Psychology Department at the University of Minnesota-Duluth.
i bet the %'s would be the same for the bureaucratic apparachiks in the State Dept and CIA...
ReplyDeleteafter all; these institutions are closed networks just like academia and the MSM: they hire and promote their own.
if you don't toe the party line you don't get hired - (or don't get promoted/tenured if you slip through the hiring process)..

Professors on the Battlefield
excerpts:
[Over the past few years, Gen. Petraeus has been cultivating ties to the academic community, drawing on scholars for specialized knowledge and fresh thinking about the security challenges facing America. "What you are seeing is a willingness by military officers to learn from civilian academics," says Michael Desch, an expert on civilian-military relations at Texas A&M. "The war on terrorism has really accelerated this trend."]
[Mr. Hayden's article suggests a bizarre conception of the role of scholars in American life: that they should be held to a priestly standard of ethical purity. "Are academics so much purer than anybody else that we can't ever be in situations where we are confronting tough ethical choices?" asks Noah Feldman, a professor of law at Harvard who briefly, in 2003, was an adviser to the Coalition Provisional Authority. "If academics didn't get involved with these kinds of difficult questions, maybe all that would be left is a department of Kantian philosophy," he jokes. "Then we would be pure, but we would be irrelevant."]

I am shocked I tell you, yeah right and we wonder how it is that a large majority of our youth and kids attending colleges since the 60's are more likely to be Democrats....they are indeed being indoctrinated. I liken it to the way Hamas indoctrinates kids via television from 3 up which is exactly what our public school system does from 5 up.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, what's interesting to me at least is what both academia and both the CIA and State Dept. have in common, none of them actually have to work in the real world for a living...
ReplyDeleteThey all feed off of the taxpayer financed federal and state troughs...
Academia has long been slanted to the left. Studies I've seen recently seem to indicate that it hasn't had much of an effect on the political leanings of graduates 5-10 years after the fact though. While graduates of higher learning institutions are indeed somewhat more likely to be liberal than conservative, it's not by a huge margin, and that margin hasn't changed much over the last few decades.
ReplyDeleteJust goes to show that most of us still make up our own minds about things once we're out in the real world.
