A gaping hole in U.S. education is the vast shortage of conservatives teaching in education, K-College.
Possibly, correcting this one “oversight” would solve/mitigate loads of societal/cultural problems.
Interesting quote / Maine?
Frank Thiboutot Cumberland
We have all suspected that actors and actresses are 90% liberal.
That number is high but one study linked below has found that 97% of all high school teachers and 99% of health teachers are liberal with the overall percentage being 87% who vote for Democrats and 13% for Republicans.
I don’t believe in “cancel culture” one bit so I’m not asking teachers to disavow their political ideology. HOWEVER, they have no business indoctrinating our kids in the classroom.
It’s been said that, “Liberalism is a mental disorder”.
That may go too far, but I personally believe that liberal (actually, progressive) ideas may be well-intentioned but they are detrimental to our traditional American values and the principles of individual freedom found in our Constitution that have made our country great.
Therefore, I support LD 550 and urge the committee members to do so as well.

2023 / POLITICAL PARTY AFFILIATION AMONG ACADEMIC FACULTY
A recent article in Econ Journal Watch examined faculty voter registration at 40 leading US universities. Authors looked
at the ratio of Democrats to Republicans among tenure-track faculty in five academic disciplines: economics, history, journalism/communication, law, and psychology. The report found 3,623 of the 7,243 professors registered as Democrats and only 314 registered as Republicans. The ratio of registered Democrats to Republicans has increased in the past decade and is highest among young professors.

THE U.S. PUBLIC TREASURY
in my view, everyone who pays taxes (not just libs) has a vested interest in gov education, gov funding.
the U.S. Public Treasury should not be a big petty cash drawer for lib dreams/experiments.
