You should read @bryan_caplan book the case of education, he provides evidence to suggest that political leanings of teachers don’t influence the political leanings of students
We're way past that, unfortunately..... https://www.timeshighereducation.com/opinion/teacher-education-must-rise-above-political-correctness … via @timeshighered

Actually it's probable they work inversely. My sons have reacted against overtly feminist, left leaning teaching, becoming more conservative in the process. I find this troubling.

In British Columbia, Human Rights Code from 1968-1993 contained exemption for free "speech and writing." In 1991/92 Calendar, UBC introduced completely illegal prohibition on "harassment and discrimination." In 1993 legislature changes speech/writing to "private communication."

The problem is legislative, and the reason we have this legislation is because of awful people in the Universities from the late 1800s onward---the whole edifice is useless, the University system grew up in context of a state church, it's obsolete.

We need to set the entry point for a Teaching degree at higher than that for Medicine and pay teachers more than doctors imo. This would improve the calibre of teachers in 4 years.

Let's face it, u don't need 2b very intelligent 2 become a teacher. The better ones r likely 2b more intelligent but I would imagine 2b an effective one doesn't require a high IQ. In general, medical doctors on the other hand do need a high IQ to become doctors and be effective.
