Liberal Bias On College Campuses Reaching Critical Mass

John T. Plecnik, a Duke University law student writes in yesterday's edition of TruthNews that liberal bias is more than just training students to be liberal. Mr. Plecnik opines that on many campuses there is a "Need Not Apply" message being sent to conservative professors seaking teaching positions. Here is a taste:

Our professors have at least four years to scare us Democrat, and they seldom waste an opportunity. Studies show that liberals hire liberals; the faculty at elite institutions like Duke and Yale fall to the Left of Hillary Clinton. More frightening, however, is the condition of our average campus. Along with the elites, most state schools are stacked with Democrats and Socialists. Perhaps conservatives are just too stupid for academia, as Dr. Robert Brandon, chairman of Duke's philosophy department, once asserted. Myself, I tend to believe that hiring committees prefer "fellow travelers." And as for self-selection, I think most Right-wingers are smart enough to see the "CONSERVATIVES NEED NOT APPLY" sign hanging beneath the ivy.

This is just not right. If the only professors are liberal professors then we can expect only liberal politics to be taught.
