#34 Adina – Gotta contradict you. My brother is an MIT grad and tenured professor in a “hard” science, well-known and respected and honored in his field. He is also a die-hard Marxist who only votes for Democrats. He is a demagogue who bullies and berates less-educated family members and acquaintances into agreeing with (or paying lip service to) his political positions. One of his biggest laments is that he cannot discuss politics in the courses he teaches… because, of course, it is not relevant to the subject matter. Although he did manage to find ways during Bush 43′s term to vent his frustrations over the perceived lack of funding for the sciences.
BTW, I work at a major university known for the number of faculty/grads who’ve won Nobel prizes in science. I have yet to meet one that is not a liberal, although they are not as likely to discuss their beliefs except in social settings.
