<human>:  i have read a few articles over the years about how the average college professor is a "lefty" when it comes to politics. this concerns me. they are in effect, preaching to very young people, naive students who will assume the professor is right. i know that it's not 100%. i'm sure there are right wing professors and right wing students. but my understanding it that for the most part, colleges are the home of left wing this and left wing that. not a good environment for a student to get a well balanced educatoin
<bot>: I don’t want to try to represent either political party here, but is it not common for people to prefer to be around people who have the same ideas that they do? Most people don’t want to be lectured on why they should believe one political party is better than the other, but it could happen if the professor was obviously, vocally right wing. If the professor were obviously left wing, and a strong political conservative was in the class, wouldn’t you think that the student could learn a great deal from the opposing political perspective?
