I'm so tired of people constantly bemoaning "liberal academia." Perhaps the link you're not seeing is that as people become more educated, they tend to think more deeply about world issues, they tend to become more concerned about the world around them, they tend to become more *gasp* liberal. I just wish the general public had a deeper understanding of the ideological differences between conservative and liberal...then maybe "liberal" wouldn't be such a four-letter word...

Three Northeast universities? And the headline talks about all academia Look, I realize that the conservative mind has a low grasp of statistics, but three universities does not a statistical universe make - and how far outpaced were Harvard and Georgetown? This isn't reporting. This is an op-ed piece.
