Maybe later I will elaborate why higher education tend to be moderate to liberal.
Oh please... let me guess, because liberals and democrats believe in science and conservatives and republicans don't believe in science? Heard that lies too many times... A Democrat professor even wrote about it.
Actually... if you really pay attention, it's the Liberals and Democrats that are complaining all the time about higher education and how it's so unfair for Liberals, Democrats and Diversity. They want safe space, want diverse faculty members so these faculty can understand, etc. etc. Every time you hear something on CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, Puffington Post, or any left media, it's the liberals that are complaining... It's funny how liberals and Democrats always, always tend to think they are better than anyone else.
When I was in college, some of my best professor are white. I didn't need an Asian or other race professor to get my education. I don't care if all professor are liberals and Democrats... just as long as you're teaching what you're supposed to teach and not put your two cent about politics or what I should think, act, or behave. I'm pretty sure a few of my past professor were atheist too.
