You guys need to stop kidding yourselves.

When you're being interviewed by a "hiring committee" everything is on the table. Actually, the more accurate term is that everything is "under" the table. Don't kid yourself.
- Everyone notices the colleges you attended - and they know what they are.
- Everyone notices what organizations and/or fraternities you're in.
- Everyone asks questions that, though politically correct, are very tell-tale.
- Everyone talks AFTER the interview is over and the candidate has left the room. I've been on both sides of the table on this one, and know for a fact that it takes plae EVERY time.


You boys are absolutely deluded and blind if you don't believe that everyone on a hiring committee knows exactly where a "candidate" stands on every single issue. It's the same reason that almost every college has a "women's studies" curriculum, but almost NEVER have a "men's studies" program.

I think you just helped prove my point. You said they can't ask you anything when you apply for a teacher's job. The school, or whoever is hiring you, has no way to know if you are a liberal or a conservative. This means that the only factor effecting who applies and gets these jobs, is who is actually applying. I find the natural conclusion here is that the liberals are looking for, and getting the jobs that allow them to help and teach people. The conservatives, at large, are too selfcenter and capitalistic to consider taking such a job. Not enough pay or potential person gain. So how does the hiring process effect the % of liberal teachers again?
No, to attack the liberals, because they are willing to help people and take teachers jobs, is just pointing to your dislike for liberal teachers. Now, some would consider you a loud mouth because of this. This certainly gives us other things to ponder. Is there such a thing as a closet liberal, with a consevative complex?

And you just COMPLETELY missed the whole point.

But you just keep being an arrogant and condescending prick that says stuff like Then wonder why liberals are the cry-baby laughing stock of people living in the real world.

First you say that liberals "feel" instead of "think". Then you state that these same feeling liberals hunt down conservatives trying to apply for teaching positions. And you rode my ass about a conspiracy theory... what do you think this is? Where I could provide evidence to support my claim, this is pure speculation.

As if the door of the hiring committee closes
"Do you think he/she was a conservative?"
"We can't let them into the inner circle, they might make our kids THINK about God".

You just do not have a CLUE what's going on, do you?

Ever been on a curriculum committee, or a hiring committee? No, you haven't.

This is a perfect example of the fact that your ignorance does NOT diminish the truth. Nice try though...

First of all I was talking to dylan not you. I think this makes you the arrogant prick and the laughiing stock.

Gosh, Jefferson, you obviously know far more than any of us simple people. You shouldn't waste your time on this forum anymore. It'd be better if you just didn't come back.

Experience is a great teacher.

You ought to try it.


No wait... better yet, just remain ignorant and try to chase off anybody who doesn't fit into your little narrow frame of reference.
