It probably won't happen. Conservatives both complain that college is propaganda and that they aren't represented. It's also interesting, because the field of academia is painfully conservative and meritocratic, but conservatives won't compete in the den of ideas.

Let's say I am taking a politics class and one makes a strong defense that voter ID causes issues with voting prevalence and civic participation. Why would i want a professor who is completely closed to the idea that this could be true. Liberals, progressives, communists all believe there are 2 sexes. You know who believes in multiple genders? Biologists.

"illegal aliens shouldn’t get free housing, medical, & in-state tuition at state colleges." is a boring liberal take that multiple professors have argued and made. You're too brainrotted by rush limbaugh style propaganda

Consevative views aren't popular, because it essentially is a mix of "someone/something says this so it must be true and you cannot question it because [insert X moral reasoning]" It is also entirely dismissive to anyone who is different. Conservatives have yet to develop an internally consistent framework that says anyone who is not white male straight has value.

Define leftist indoctrination and why wouldn't right-leaning indoctrination occur? Much of Sherif Girgis's viewpoint is informed by Catholicism, which is a mythical belief in a sky daddy that informs a chosen aristocrat to tell you to love and hate certain people by twisting sacred texts. That isn't very educating, just propaganda sanctioned by a religion.

Your response is a great example of leftist indoctrination.

I'm a Christian and probably far more moderate than you. The Catholic Church is just an absolute joke and easily the worst institutional force in our human history.

Go away.

This is the crowd asking to be included in academia by the way. Can't handle a little pushback. What a snowflake.

I generally agree. To me, there's a unique illogical ask by shields though: hire people who are conservative and follow rule by rule and are very institutional, but also give them appointments at top colleges and universities where they are supposed to be innovative and breaking rules? It just feels like this will slow research.

Good for him. We need less snowflakes in work force. They’re just lawsuits waiting to happen.

They're nestled in at Claremont McKenna, Baylor, Hillsdale, University of Austin, a few at Stanford, BYU. They tend to be very prominent in law school, because like religion, law is a made up practice with a ton of circular reasoning that can justify cruelty.

Are there even an abundance of conservative professors?
