I've always been fascinated by the description of liberal academia by conservatives as if it's some sort of subtle thing that creeps into the minds of students gradually, slowly indoctrinating them.
Maybe my experience has been different, and I don't deny that liberals have an overwhelming stranglehold on academia (at least at the college level), but I've nearly always been able to point out my liberal professors with absurd ease. Some I've just been able to tell by how or what they teach, while some others were quite open with it.
One of my favorite political science professors was a liberal, and was upfront with his far-leftyness from the first class.
Two of my other favorite political science professors were Republicans. They were also quite easy to point out, because they were sadly less open with their own views. I just found out that one of them is now running for Congress.
