"Jim what’s stopping conservatives from becoming Academics ?"
They don't get hired. That's what's stopping them. This might be news to you, but a conservative can't just show up on a college campus and declare himself a professor and start teaching. You have to get hired first. They don't hire conservatives.
"It’s a liberal profession it’s not rocket science. And what’s so nefarious about it"
What's nefarious, is that kids aren't educated, they're indoctrinated. They aren't taught how to think, they are taught what to think. What's nefarious about it, is that college students go berserk when a conservative speaker is invited to give a simple talk on campus. Instead of engaging the conservative speaker like a normal person, the college kids can't deal with it, they need a safe space to curl up into a ball and suck their thumbs. What's nefarious about it, is that conservative speakers are routinely mobbed off stage, rather than being given a chance to speak. It turns college kids into adults like you, who are physically incapable of processing anything that doesn't support the liberal narrative. What's nefarious about it, is that conservative students cannot possibly feel comfortable expressing their views in class, when their teacher says their views are as evil as Hitler.
I taught in public school Wayne, and was a student at three different colleges. I saw it.
I took a sociology class at UCONN, taught by a marxist female who hated everybody to the right of Bernie Sanders. She made us read a autobiography by convicted cop killer Abu Mumia Jamal, the whole autobiography was whiny rant about how the cops framed him. We had one courageous student in th eclass, who said to the teacher "you know, the widow of the cop he killed, also wrote a book, maybe we could read that book too, to get both sides of the event."
The teacher went berserk at the suggestion.
Again, that was one example, and one observation doesn't mean anything. But that stuff happens every single day, on every single campus.
Here's a study that suggests that democrats professors outnumber republican professors nine to one. 9 to 1. That's not an accident.
Liberals want diversity of everything, except of ideas.
