Posted by Orin Kerr: Krugman on Conservatives in Academia: In today's [1]New York Times, Paul Krugman considers why there are so few conservatives in academia. Krugman's hypothesis, in a nutshell: conservatives don't fit in the academic world because they are anti-scholarship creationists who get their truth from "revelation, not research." (A special note for our readers in the Upper West Side of Manhattan and Cambridge, Massachusetts: if you ever happen to meet a conservative, you will quickly realize that Krugman's perspective is what they call a "[2]caricature.")
