There Are Conservative Professors. Just Not in These States.
New England colleges skew extremely liberal, Rocky Mountain ones less so."I cannot say for certain why New England is so far to the left. But what I can say, based on the evidence, is that if you are looking for an ideologically balanced education, don’t put New England at the top of your list."
Ideologically balanced education is not possible.

More than half of all women murdered by guns are killed by partners or family members. Congress was right to ban domestic abusers from having guns.The Second Amendment was an experiment in national defense that failed more than two hundred years ago.
It should be retired.
