They already exist. They’re usually found in law, business, or theology departments (though not all professors in those departments are conservatives). They also exist in departments that don’t require you to apply your critical thinking skills to social issues, such as maths, IT or engineering. You wouldn’t know whether your professors in those subjects are rightists, conservatives, liberals or leftists though, because politics doesn’t actually ever come up in classes that aren’t related to societal issues. The only way you’d find out is if a professor is obviously biased against women and/or minorities, which does happen sometimes. The people in the original post don’t care about any of this though, the outrage is the entire point and the truth doesn’t matter.
Hard to believe there’s that many around. I had an American history teacher in JC that taught the civil war from the “states rights “ perspective. He taught with his own book and his class did feel like attempted indoctrination. Even my math teachers were pretty obviously not facist from they jokes and general good humor ext… i just don’t think there’s a large amount of educated people so devout in their far far right ideology that they all of a sudden want to become professors of bullshit …but maybe
I’m not saying that there’s people who become professors to spread their conservative ideas. Just like how there aren’t really any people who become professors to spread their liberal ideas. Nobody would become, let alone remain, a professor if they used their platform to convince students of their ideology. What I’m saying is being highly educated in one area is absolutely not a guarantee you’ll become a leftist, or even a liberal. And there’s plenty of professors that will never share their political views, just how it should be. Some of them are certainly conservatives.

In a less polarized time that was probably true but where were at now you literally have to deny facts to be “conservative “
