You lean left, so a prof who puts a leftward slant on things sounds to you like he/she is right down the middle. When 90% of the faculty lean left, you are going to get a leftward slant on things, whether there is a conspiracy or not. I see it all the time at my place, and we are a relatively conservative school.

What is an example of this? Hearing one would be helpful to understand your perspective.

As an engineering student I never really thought about the politics of, say, 80% of my professors, because they taught very straight forward engineering and science courses. I could try and figure out the other 20% based on the topics, but I don’t think you need to be a liberal to teach about the French Revolution, but my guess is not many conservatives study French history.
