Conservative students sick of liberal professors

I happened to come across a facebook group that serves as a meeting place for conservative students who are sick of their liberal minded professors.

The groups description is as follows.

This is a group for any student who has to sit through or has sat through a course and are forced to (or have been forced to) listen to their liberal professor(s) shove their political views down their throats and who are using our valuable class-time to do so.

For conservative minded students sick and tired of the liberal/socialist bias that professors “teach” at our academic universities. Universities were a place for debate, but now it is just a factory for creating liberal/socialist ideals.

In recent years, conservative minded students and student groups have had their voices be shut down by liberal professors, administration and student associations. It is time to turn our universities back into a learning environment, with debates.

Why don't these students speak up and question and/or debate with their professors. I have yet to meet a lefty who doesn't love debate. In fact, most lefty's love debate so much that they struggle to agree with other leftys. I debate the fact that Canada's universities are run by leftys (or liberals/socialists), but if such were true, these whining conservatives should engage thoughtful debate, not sit and sulk and then whine on facebook.

I really like one group member's response. However, I don't think that she's a conservative.

Yup, it's truly a shame there aren't more conservative professors at Universities.

Tell me, though, what do you think is the reason for that:

(a) Conservatives tend to be dumb and don't make it into Academia.
(b) Conservatives tend to not want to become academics because of the huge financial debt(or, as they like to call it, investment) necessary to get 3 degrees in order to get an underpaid position at an underfunded institution; or
(c) once a conservative becomes educated, he turns into a liberal.

Take your pick!

My guess is all three.

Of course, to assume that there aren't any conservative professors is to forget about the Calgary school (or the department of redneckology as a former faculty member once described it). This 'school' includes Ted Morton of the Alberta PC party and Tom Flanagan, an advisor and former campaign manager of Stephen Harper.

I guess that university has in fact failed to teach these students much of anything, such as reality. Poor conservatives.
