Should faculties have a more equal number of liberal and conservative professors? Why?

Answer 1

Educators should be neutral. They should teach only factual based material that is not an opinion. They should present all information in a format that the student should assemble and form their own opinions on, not present opinions or far fetched theories.

Many professors on campuses around our country should be fired. I know I'm not going to pay for a college for my daughters where the classes are indoctrinations into the leftist ideologies and students who disagree are failed by the professors. Many campuses around our country are no different than cults in their beliefs.

Answer 2

You would think they would but they don't. Why? Because Conservative A students go into the private sector and make money and create jobs. Liberal A students go into the public sector because they can not fathom that a situation arises in life that requires something other than an answer that is written in a textbook. They then spout their liberal ideas to young minds to deflect their own failure in the private sector. My field in college was accounting. You could tell a persons political views without asking. Liberals wanted to become government accountants, Conservatives and Independents wanted to hit the private sector.

Professors should not be allowed to use their classrooms to spout their political beliefs. The worst at doing this are usually English professors. How would anyone feel if a professor did this and their beliefs were those of the KKK or the German Nazi party?

Answer 3

Yes. That way students would be exposed to BOTH sides of the arguments equally. Furthermore professors should be restricted to the course of instruction inside the classroom. The last thing a math or chem major needs from their instructor is diversion into sociology and politics.

Answer 4

Considering the fact that most college professors are liberals, yes. There are so few conservatives in public universities it's appaling. When was the last time you heard about a "Ward Churchill" type professor who was a conservative at a public university?

Answer 5

No. That would be dumbing down higher education.

We are a very conservative country and need more liberal thought.

Answer 6

I love it, a "fairness doctrine" at university. Give the Marxists a taste of their own stupidity.

Answer 7

Cons do hate learned, intelligent people. They can't compete on the ideas, so they attack the messengers.
