A new study found that 39 percent of "top-tier liberal arts colleges" in the United States don't have any Republicans on their faculties.

The study by the National Association of Scholars also found that the Democratic-to-Republican ratio was 10.4:1 among 8,688 Ph.D.-holding professors.

The ratio is 12.7:1 when two military colleges, West Point and Annapolis, are removed from the sample.

The report states that the 51 institutions accounted for in the study are among the top 66-ranked colleges in "U.S. News and World Report."

Leftism has been popular with college faculty since the Russian Revolution. The preference has been more pronounced in the USA than in most of our peer nations. The reasons for this are not simple, although there are more Ph.D. profs from working class homes in the US than in most of Europe. America's public universities have played a role in this and the anti-intellectualism of the religious right has certainly helped as well.

Maybe they wanted to teach "conservative arts" instead
