Exactly. Such attitudes are insane. The fact that some people are willing to proclaim the fact that they are murderers at heart is even more insane. There must be consequences every single time.
So many of these obviously violent lefty lunatics are teachers - meaning people who are actually influencing children. Talk about totally scary and evil.
Wait until you find out about the Professors….the rot is so much deeper in the university setting.
We have to remember that most teachers are from middle & working class backgrounds. And it's still one of the biggest job in small towns all over America for women.
So lots and lots of moderate to conservative teachers.
But at the university level is when things get wild.
98%-2% splits between liberals vs conservatives among the faculty…that kind of thing
Numbers so disproportional and skewed that they are literally unbelievable

This bothers me so much. I know I have been out of college for a while but I did not know the political leanings of my professors (or high school teachers) and didn't want to know. There were a few exceptions in my political science or history classes where their political stances showed through their teachings but not in a direct, pushing their side sort of way but in a critique of presidents or policies.
There definitely was no reason for my foreign language, science, math, business, etc. profs to talk politics. And they did not push anything.
Another concerning trend is that at several universities the professors seem to be younger than when I was in school. Younger and no real world experience. When I was at Baylor I remember having professors that were in their 60s, 70s and even 80s. I had one that was a WW2 veteran. One that was a teen during WW2 and shared his Great Depression/war experience as a child and teen and how he remembered "voting" in class for FDRs first election. I remember one of the few business classes I took having a professor who worked in business for years before getting his doctorate and teaching. Same for many of my other profs. They had real world experience.
Now even my nephew pointed it out when he visited Baylor for Premier day. The profs were all young. So my wife and I got curious and looked up a few departments. They were all full of young people who based on their bios went straight through Bachelors to doctorate and then started teaching.
Granted this was not every department so before someone comes back with a link to a department that has older profs the select few random ones we looked at seemed to be full of younger staff. So yes it is anecdotal of one search of one college but I would be curious to see if this is typical of many universities now with their DEI pushes.
