Tim, none of that is evidence. Polls concerning the political leanings of American faculties are a completely different topic than the question of whether the academy is systemically undermining its mission to teach/encourage/stimulate critical thinking by a "strong bias" against it.

If you argued that it doesn't do a terribly good job of that because of a misbegotten commitment to publish or perish, we would definitely have a conversation. But not because ideologues have taken over the industry.

As for Churchill, if you feel you have not been using him as some sort of anecdotal evidence of the problems that bother you in the academy, fine.
