"The more educated one is, the more progressive their political leanings. This is the same reason for the "bias" in higher education." True enough on the massive liberal bias in our schools Krav. But I find it perversely ironic that liberals fail to see their own hypocrisy when they are the ones that demand diversity in virtually every arena EXCEPT that that would threaten their political beliefs.Most of my professors were liberals too and I thought it odd, but I really didn't care. I didn't go to college to become an academic myself, nor to acquire a biased education in politics. I just stuck around long enough to get my degree so that I could get out into the private sector as fast as possible and pursue my own interests along with a piece of paper that would tell my prospective employers that I did indeed have at least a modicum of intelligence and to the conservative ones certainly, plenty of patience and discipline. That paper otherwise, I've noticed, is virtually worthless to most of them."As brain matter increases, the likelihood of being republiklan decreases." Spoken like a truely offensive intellectual. You ought to pick that lint out of your navel while you're gazing at it btw.In my lowly private sector working world, the political bias seems to be weighted in my favor though and so, just for fun, expound for me on Harvard professor Robert Nozick's question that I've forever asked myself as well. I'd love to hear your highly educated response. In the end I suspect though that the real reason for the bias in the educational system has absolutely nothing to do with "brain matter" or intelligence.http://www.cato.org/pubs/policy_report/cpr-20n1-1.html
