View source for Liberals and Academia

The phrase '''professor values''' refers to the lack of morals and values in the culture of college faculties, which is characterized by [[atheism]], [[censorship]], [[socialism]], unjustified claims of expertise and knowledge, advocacy of [[liberal]] beliefs, [[liberal grading]], [[liberal bias]], anti-patriotism, plagiarism, false claims of credentials, lack of productivity, [[bullying]] or discouraging students (particularly homeschoolers),<ref>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/21/AR2008032101451.html?referrer=emailarticle</ref> and promotion of sexual immorality.  

In a Zogby poll, 58% of [[Americans]] said that the bias of professors is a serious problem, while 39% said it is a "very serious" problem.<ref>http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1334</ref>

[[Liberal]] politicians are routinely given high-ranking academic positions over better-qualified candidates.  Examples include:

* [[Al Gore]]<ref>Beginning early in 2001, "Gore will be [at UCLA] to develop a new curriculum for family-centered community building, a multidisciplinary approach that brings together authorities from such fields as education, business and public policy to work on problems that ail our society and affect our children. ...  He also will be teaching at three other universities - Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro and Fisk University in Nashville - in addition to his teaching and research work at UCLA."

*[[Michael Dukakis]]
*[[Gary Hart]]
*[[Bob Kerrey]]
* [[Tony Blair]]
There are about 3600 colleges, many small, and perhaps 500,000 professors.  Yet there have been a relatively large number of shocking crimes and bizarre conduct.
