But students who entered college before 1990 could count on the fact that their professors did not all vote the same way or hold the same views on the controversial issues of the day. Students who arrived after 2005 could make no such assumption. For example, Figure 3 is from Jon Haidt’s recent post plotting new data on the policy views of social psychologists, on nine culture war issues (such as abortion and gay marriage). Figure 3: Views of 327 social psychologists, on nine culture war issues. For further details see here.Only one social psychologist, out of a sample of 327, had views that were right of center. Where, you've provided no context or evidence? You haven't even provided a measure of what "centre" is. So many of you have dove to the right that everyone feels left of centre to you. Several studies have found that the political views of academics vary considerably between different regions of the United States, and between academic disciplines. In a 2016 opinion column in The New York Times, for example, political scientist Samuel J. Abrams used HERI data to argue that the ratio of liberal to conservative faculty varied greatly between regions. According to Abrams, the ratio of liberal to conservative professors was highest in New England, where this ratio was 28:1, compared to 6:1 nationally.[34][35] Mitchell Langbert examined variations in political party registration in 2018, describing a higher concentration of Democrats in elite liberal arts institutions in the northeast, and found more Democrats among female faculty than male faculty. He also found the greatest ratio of Democrats to Republicans in interdisciplinary studies and the humanities, and the lowest ratio in professional studies and science and engineering.[37] Focusing specifically on social psychology academics, a 2014 study found that "[b]y 2006, however, the ratio of Democrats to Republicans had climbed to more than 11:1."[16] The six authors, all from different universities and members of the Heterodox Academy, also said, by 2012, "that for every politically conservative social psychologist in academia there are about 14 liberal psychologists" according to Arthur C. Brooks. Academy member[38] Steven Pinker described the study as "one of the most important papers in the recent history of the social sciences". source ....wikipedia  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_views_of_American_academics That's groundbreaking. 11:1? That's 10 out of 11, dear. Does that mean that in only the last 5 years, it's gone up to 17:1? Did Haidt measure the future trajectory? laugh if you like but its what got trump elected. lefties have taken over the humanities (whether its 11/1 or 17/1 doesnt matter much). and they are in an echo chamber (as evidenced by their horror at trump winning). and they propose policies which give them status in their leftie clique but which mortify "real" america. i saw this in the democratic candidate debates when they all put their hands up to support free health care for all illegals. that is a direct result of not having a conservative voice in the humanities to say "wait a moment". so the takeover of the humanities has directly resulted in trump and will result in him winning in 2020. it would have been better if they had some conservatives to contend with on the campus. but who wants to do that !!!! I'm not laughing, dear, I'm curious. I'm trying to educate myself. I've asked you about Haidt and Steven Pinker and your social scientists, but you won't say. You don't want to tell me because I'm ideologically posessed - like the leftards. I swear to God, dear, I'm just trying to get to the source of this ideological possession - like you. I know you want to get to the bottom of all this too. You're into the science, dear, the facts. I think it's terrible the way these doctors and scientists and business professors are poisoning our students' minds like this. So if you could post the link to your graph, it'd be great. With your help, I'll educate myself, you'll see.
