Because evolution has been so widely accepted by the scientific community to nearly the point of dogma, most institutions will look at person as rejecting the proper scientific method. Most institutions do this in order to maintain a consistent standard of acceptance. Perhaps history will vindicate those who do deny the theory of evolution, but until that happens, the rejection of those who do deny evolution is justified. If the theory that aliens created the world through panspermy was accepted like evolution is today, the review boards would also have to reject anyone who would deny the theory merely on the principle of valuing the scientific method. Tenure is essentially a near-total protection, and to give it indiscriminately would be a mistake.

Revision as of 12:09, May 16, 2008

Professor values refer to the common value system embraced by a large percentage of professors, just as Hollywood values refers to the common value system of many in Hollywood.

An extremely high percentage of professors disagree with conservative principles.[1][2] Professors' common value system typically includes atheism,[3] censorship, socialism, unjustified claims of expertise and knowledge (for example, the dogmatic promotion of the theory of evolution),[4] liberаl beliefs,[5] liberal grading, liberal bias,[6] anti-patriotism, lack of productivity, bullying or discouraging conservative students (for example, homeschoolers),[7][8] and promotion of sexual immorality.[9][10] 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.[11] The survey demonstrated further that "an overwhelming majority also believe that job security for college professors leaves them less motivated to do a good job than those professors who do not enjoy a tenured status - 65% said they believe non-tenured professors are more motivated to do a good job in the classroom."[11] One study in 2008 found that "Texas university professors overwhelmingly favor Democratic candidates in their campaign contributions."[12]

Professors block the granting of a tenured professorship to anyone who:

Politicians, including liberal ones, are routinely given high-ranking academic positions. Examples include:

Gary Wills gave it a glowing review in The New York Times, but admitted later that "I was took.
