I think one of the main problems with that idea is that you think liberals "go into education", when I think the truth is more that education LEADS to a more liberal approach.
Plus, it's kind of hard for "conservatives" to "go into" education when the truth is that too many of them want to REWRITE facts based on convenience.
"Conservapedia" being an excellent point in question.
Like you, the interest is NOT in "education", but rather in making education work for your POLITICAL vantage...
Quite frankly, when you lose your objectivity and define "education" goals based on what you WANT them to be (like this guy did), it will only come back to bite you in the arse.
And on the subject of the original article, that guy was an idiot.
But to pretend it's a "group" issue is absurd.
I can post you a variety of "conservative teacher did this" things if you like, but I doubt you'd listen...
I think I'd start with the teacher who was "burning" crosses into his students arms. I found people's COMMENTS ABOUT him to be particularly enlightening as well...
