I suppose comrade if you have a vested interest in preserving the status quo and even fostering your leftist agenda, and despite your claims about being a teacher and showing no general interest here in learning, not to mention minding being obnoxiously cynical and childishly presumptuous in your post---you can get away with what you've just said.
but setting you aside...
I was just reading something recently consistent with some of the thread (by the same folks even), about the left leaning progression in higher education. unfortunately I cant upload the graph but ive got a nice photo of the breakdown of liberals, moderates, conservatives from 1988 to 2014 in terms of their overall representation on the faculty.
in 88 it was roughly 42, 40 and 18 respectively. in 14 it was 60, 28 and 12.

some text from the moral foundations theory wiki:
quote:
Various scholars have offered moral foundations theory as an explanation of differences between political progressives (liberals in the American sense) and conservatives and have suggested that it can explain variation in opinion on politically charged issues such as gay marriage and abortion. In particular, Haidt and fellow researchers have argued that progressives stress only two of the moral foundations (Care and Fairness) in their reasoning, and libertarians stress only two (Liberty and Fairness), while conservatives stress all six more equally.[1]
The Six Foundations
Values and their opposites
1.Care/harm: cherishing and protecting others.
2.Fairness/cheating: rendering justice according to shared rules. (Alternate name: Proportionality)
3.Liberty/oppression: the loathing of tyranny.
4.Loyalty/betrayal: standing with your group, family, nation. (Alternate name: Ingroup)
5.Authority/subversion: obeying tradition and legitimate authority. (Alternate name: Respect.)
6.Sanctity/degradation: abhorrence for disgusting things, foods, actions. (Alternate name: Purity.)
ive said or alluded to this on numerous occasions, we argue because we value different things.
unfortunately, in our human weakness/fallen nature, that all too often devolves into name calling and casting aspersions on the other side.
its stuff like this work and these thoughts that should/could give people from differing parts of the social/political spectrum more of an ability to talk with each other.
however, I still want liberals to move to cuba or Sweden.
