Last week I did and informal, completely uncontrolled, completely anonymous,
and off-the-cuff survey of three classes that I teach with a total N=108. I
asked three questions.
1. Do you know what my political beliefs are?
2. Do you care what my political beliefs are?
3. Have may political beliefs caused you to change your mind about the upcoming
election?
The completely unscientific results were.
Yes No
1. 40 68 (This in spite of the fact that I have been wearing political
buttons almost every day.
2. 20 88
3. 0 108
So, from the point of view of a person who lives in a conservative swing state,
it seems that my beliefs are nearly completely irrelevant to my students.

We have in fact, two kinds of morality, side by side: one which we preach, but
do not practice, and another which we practice, but seldom preach. -Bertrand
Russell, philosopher, mathematician, author, Nobel laureate (1872-1970)
