Thank you, Paul Krugman, for another seminal editorial.

I know we're not supposed to call the red-state-thinkers dumb, but really. Are we supposed to believe that universities are staffed by liberals because of bias? To me it's self-evident that learning and reasoning are at odds with the "party of theocracy." The fights against evolution and global warming indicate the lack of respect Republicans have for scholarship and science, and there are many other examples as well of Republicans ignoring science and facts. This lack of respect translates into fewer faculty positions.
