    There are no actual statistics to make that claim. However, my premise is that teachers are part of the community and in turn reflect the overall values of that community, in a general sense. Teachers live, eat, work, and recreate locally in the community they are in, especially in small and midsize towns in Texas. Thus, it is reasonable to conclude that because Texas is generally conservative, thus the teachers should be majority conservative. How conservative is then the question because i also believe teachers in general are not idealogues either.

    Thanks for explaining your thought process. I don't think it's quite as simple as saying "state X is (red/blue), so a majority of the profession ____ in that state must be (red/blue) as well", but understanding how you reached that conclusion is helpful.

    No, you don't get it at all nor have you resonably presented any facts.

    Even Ditka's statistics disagree with you Butterballs. And nothing you have shown proved your point.

    LOL, so 791 teachers who have been charged and/or convicted of inappropriate relationships is false? You mean the number is more? Care to prove that statement.

    I don't care about ditks, and my proof doesn't matter because your own posts and percentages did all that for me :)

    Thanx again for making my point again!!

    Current space strictly on assumptions well okay let me alleviate you you need to assume.

    Texas isn't a deep red state it never has been. We've had democrats for governors here in my lifetime and I'm not that old.

    Most Texans live in Houston DFW San Antonio Austin and Amarillo. I can't speak for DFW I don't live there I haven't spent much time there same with San Antonio but I can speak for Houston because I've lived here most of my life and it is the largest city in Texas. I can also speak for Austin because I've spent a lot of time there. These two cities are deep blue.

    I went to school in Houston public School and many of the public school teachers were pretty left I remember that's how I learned about that because my parents were pretty right.

    So you shouldn't make assumptions about a place without knowing for sure in a rural communities sure imagine teachers can be conservative but they can be just as liberal as anybody more liberal people do and fact live in rural communities.

    I gave you facts, quite literally a link to a reliable study that shows that homeschooling out performs public school.

    You ignored it and played games.

    Again, typical liberal. Facts are too inconvenient.

    Sure, you gave a link that proved your point and another poster gave a link that proved the opposite point. So what.

    This almost sounds like an LGBTQ version of BLM:
