I’ll concur with the initial premise that students in school lean left, absolutely. I think that it’s due to two factors: the academia world itself being conducive to liberalism and young students tending to be left-leaning in the first place. I’m something of a right-leaning libertarian, as someone who is entirely to the right fiscally. And then I’m definitely conservative on issues like gun control and, if upheld by the government, one of the most formidable polluters, environmentalism. I know some of you were arguing that this isn’t so, but to me it’s pretty obvious that places of education nowadays are overly concentrated with liberals, as I regularly get shot down for my free market as well as hard-lined constitutional ideals in class, and I go to a school in a red state. I can’t even say that the government shouldn’t be providing welfare or healthcare, at expense of taxpayers, without being repudiated by the vast sea of socialists that comprise all of my high school, not even collegiate, classes. And to call conservatism an anti-intellectual discipline is profoundly unfair, at least fiscally speaking.
