Yes, I certainly believe that to be the case due to our tenure system. It is like a club where you only let those in that think the way you do. Conservatives are treated poorly on most campuses and they pay the price with harassment and poor grades for their views. If they are not academically disqualified for their views, they are certainly discouraged against academia as a career move. Even if they still wanted to teach, they would have to be realistic about ever getting tenure if their politics were ever recealed. They would be silly to waste years on such a career knowing that in the end...they would be kept from tenure.
The last study I read on the subject indicated that those students that chose the teaching profession in the US were from the lowest scoring group both test and grade wise at college entrance....so I imagine that most would not see "the light" you speak of.......that is why the indoctrination is so successful.

What another load of hogwash. I was an ultra conservative in College and when I taught. Never saw any such "poor treatment" and I got tenure.
man, you need to get better support for the junk you put out
