As always great article, Reut. The ratio of liberal to conservative professors is skewed in favor of liberals. Many of those liberals aren’t classic democrats. They are often people who grew up during the 60s and were very radical as youths. Even people who are in the middle like me find that the classroom environment can become really uncomfortable. Someone made the comment here that many professors in math and sciences are closeted conservatives. That is often true. You can tell is a professor is a moderate or conservative. A moderate or conservative professor will not give you their opinion on issues. Instead they will stick to the curriculum. If professors say anything remotely “conservative” sounding they find themselves in hot water.
