Why do college professors lean/teach left?

Anyone who truly feels comfortable with having mastered their knowledge doesn't attempt to pull rank on other people by boasting about their degree(s).

A true teacher listens to what others have to say and interacts with them in a way that teaches them something and/or supports their intellectual growth.

Your post doesn't do that at all, but maybe that's because you restrict your teaching to when you are in the classroom.

For some people, teaching is a vocation that they carry with them whether they are playing the formal role of teacher in a classroom setting or not.

You are two blind guys standing around discussing the color Blue.

If youve never entered a college or have attained degrees, hown the hell are you even competent to discuss the subject??

Apparently youve got all your ideas fresh from the Limbaugh Institute of Bullshit.

This approach wuld be more the Aristotelan "pwripatetic mode of learning". Makes it hard to do experimentation walking and discussing it with the teacher on the way to the Forum.

I dont know how many old white douche bags Ive heard talking in a western barroom about how their kids arent learning anything in college. I always wonder why these folks even send them.

perhaps Ive given you too much concern. Youve got your mind made up about ed. We need ignorant people but only those who wish to up their educational status.

Limbaugh used to be just as critical re methods of education from the same corners of defiant ignorance as you.
So While youre busy quoting your list of argument titles, why not give me your mthods about how teach chemistry or engineering??

Oh yes. And one can safely predict that such folks grew up in homes without a lot of damn books kicking about. Our dad had to leave school to work on the family farm in the prairies before he finished Grade 8. Yet he pushed all of us to pursue our educations as far as circumstances might permit. Mother's family had even stronger views on the value of education. Three of the four of us became educators and all of us have passed on the same love of books and learning to our kids.

But what these two numbskulls are voicing has a long tradition. Richard Hofstadter's "Anti-intellectualism in American Life" (in it's three chapters on the history of education) details this story very engagingly. Perhaps now that I've mentioned the work, these two fellows will order it from Amazon today or tomorrow. We know they're big on the whole learning thing.

Thought you put me on "ignore".

He was not responding to you in that post.

You are indicating the post where blatham told you he was putting you on "ignore" (6918864); however, when you say that he had placed you on ignore but is still responding to you, he is not. You cite a post in which he was responding to farmerman.

Rushbo is an entertainer to a particular crowd. A successful entertainer at that. Clearly not my favorite, but successful. Your strawman tactics reveal your true abilities

The original "question " IMM has been sufficiently dicussed.

Im exploring from where you drug up your assumptions and what would you do to correct> Apparently thats a bit too much to ask of you.

I maintaind a chair in a science dept for almost 10 yars and I observed as many Conserv as libs . Maybe not 50:50 but close.
Youre assumptions seem to come from dot com sites who lean Right neh?

Ive asked you how youd use your vast knowledge to "propwrly" teach a science (I chose chem an engineering), you can do whatever you wish.

Dont keep trying your Passive aggressive means with insult "light". As a scientist whose presented numerous papers for consideration and has been subject to really excellent insults, I dont believe you can scare anyone away.

Even your means of sneaking away from Bernie is based on PA insult. Like Pres Trump, you com out first and accuse the other guy of what you are doing yourself hoping noone notices.

that's because he too, is alaways an evidence-free source of critique of our ed systems. Youve almost used up all the adjectives with which can exclaim your displeasure with American higher ed. and insult those of us whove actually worked there, NOW, what's really on yer mind ??

In my rookie year teaching, many were caught by the college president's desire to scare the beejezus out of us. Up to that point I was only interested in covalent and hybrid bonding in petroleum bases.

blatham's decision to comment and remain involved second-handedly only shows his/her cowardice.

Youre not too bright are you?

My comments were fairly redolent with
the scent ofmy own life experience that counters the OP. Youve assumed a point and then began seeking data to verify. I dont play that game bubba.
Ive told you in nicer fashion that youre assumption is probably mere bullshit. Like my"Why are uneducated douche bags so against higher ed?"

In other words, youve not provided a damned bit of fact to support the OP. Understand where Im coming from???
