I've got a friend who's a professor at the state university. He's a good guy, not radical at all, and he's actually pretty conservative.
He's real intelligent of course, and he says he just has to keep his head down at the university and be very noncommital and inconspicuous when it comes to political issues. Radical/liberals run the place, and he says they'd be "like a pack of wild dogs" if their attention got focused on him. He's seen it happen to others.
For one thing, he privately believes "man-made global warming" is total b.s. He knows better than to let his opinion on that show at school, or even to tell students that there are two sides to the question. The other "educators" would be out to get him if he did that, and you know how that goes in a workplace. Nothing would go right for him after that, they'd make his life miserable, and they'd probably hound him out of his job eventually.
So he keeps quiet, and employed. That's probably going on in schools all over the country, and it's a sad situation.
