Reason is Obvious
Reader comment on item: Conservative Professors, an Endangered Species
in response to reader comment: Why there are mostly liberal professors on campus
Submitted by Bill Manhart (United States), May 1, 2009 at 18:07
Educated conservatives would rather accumulate material wealth, while educated liberals want to improve society. Which one is more like to wind up as a teacher? Which one as an anti-academia circuit lecturer for $10, 000 per speech? The answer is obvious.
