The idiocy goes right over their heads
Freakonomics did this analysis a long time ago. I think it’s been a decade or more so maybe the landscape has changed, but, essentially, it’s not that education turns educators liberal, it’s liberals seek careers in education.
As for the rest, yes, this would be DEI.
Interesting. I wonder about that, because the research on the student side seems to be the opposite: exposure to information, to a framework for rational thought, and most crucially to people of different backgrounds pushes people to the left. So how deep did they go? Would it be accurate to say that people who are educated seek careers in education, and since those people are more likely to be progressive, the transitive property applies?
I wonder.
I’d have to read it again to recall. I do remember money or the lack thereof being an influencing element, liberals leaning on the work itself before the money.
As such, what she asks for may not be realistic, by the numbers.
Hm, that makes a lot of sense. I know that I’m staying in my job (which is education-adjacent) despite being underpaid, because I’d rather be underpaid doing something valuable than overpaid doing something nobody cares about (I used to do that, being laid off was the best thing that ever happened to me).
