2. All faculty members are entitled to their private political views. Holding those views tells us nothing about what they teach in class and how. Huge non sequitur. Law enforcement and armed services all hold private political views, but they're not psychoanalyzed this way. 2/3

3. Reducing university teaching and research to artificial "conservative" and "liberal" categories only presents a parody of what being a professor involves. It misinforms the public about higher education when accurate and constructive information is most needed. 3/3

I took an early American history class with Michael Allen, coauthor of A Patriots History. He was actually an interesting guy whose politics did NOT come through in class. Quick to disavow his coauthor (Allen only wrote the first 5 chapters), he was more a bolo tie wearing west coast libertarian.
