The Truth about Liberals in Academics
What Michael Bérubé says:
First of all, you have to understand that there are literally thousands of politically conservative Ph.D. candidates in the field of English language and literature, just as there are untold thousands of political conservatives applying for academic jobs in the visual arts, in special education, and in philosophy.
It's certainly true that most (all?) of my professors are liberals. Some even discuss their own political beliefs in class. It's scandalous.

What a hilarious post. I'd hadn't gone back to his site in a while.
As for your professors, obviously they are part of the conspiracy. Luckily, SMU students are equipped with the cultural tools to resist them.

There's a geek shorthand for that:
C|N>K
It translates as "coffee through nose to keyboard." The "|" and ">" are UNIX syntax, in case you're wondering.
