And I believe they were saying that overall, meaning generally, the more educated you become, the more you support liberal and civil libertarian issues. I mean, I could just as easily present examples of liberals that are for a ban on same-sex marriages; but that doesn't mean there is an equal representation within the liberal community of pro and anti-ban people. That is why the teaching body usually tends to be more liberal and classical liberal than the student body. And yes, students of institutions of Harvard are undoubtedly well supplied financially. And then its not really a factor of education, but rather class. Many of those rich students go in with preconcieved notions, and come back out with them because they know the Republican Party will look after their pocketbooks as members of the upper class.
