Thank you for confirming what I always suspected. I was working on a Masters in Public Administration. My professors and lecturers (people working in government administration who were brought in to teach) were very supportive, helpful and encouraging to students until they found out that they had conservative leanings. Then, those conservative students were marginalized or advised to pursue other careers. One professor suggested to me that I might be better suited to an MBA because Republicans only like people who are successful in business not ordinary citizens. At that point, I began closely watching my fellow classmates. I noticed that the students who were considered to be prime Public Adminstrator material were not the smartest or talented students but the students more inclined to parrot a professor’s world view (i.e., mindless drones to be absorbed by the bureaucratic machine and never question the leadership).
