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 “
