From the article- which is fact based- and not some sort of jab growing out of my opinions (nor was it intended to be a jab, nor do I think it can reaasonably be interpreted as anything other than a bunch of facts, martialled in to an essay type argument): "26 percent of high school dropouts see themselves as conservative." I can't imagine this represents a huge percentage of conservatives, and the article does not claim it does, nor does it anywhere say anything even close to that, or that these are typical conservatives, or that "most" conservatives are like that, or are that, or anything like that. 26 percent is not even a majority of the high school dropout population. It merely says- if you read the article- that statistically you run the risk of getting more liberal the further in school you go, until the effect tails off in grad school.
