How many professors were teaching in universities during the McCarthy era vs how many professors are teaching now? Let's compare apples to apples.

But these days there aren't that many non-leftists around to purge/blacklist. From Ed West Substack: "The great conexit from public life":
"An average ratio of about 4.5 Democrat-voting academics to every one Republican in the 1980s developed into one of between 10.4 and 12.7 in the late 2010s. In the leading American psychology departments, a political ratio steady at 2:1 from the 1930s to 1950s increased to around 4:1 between 1970 and 1990, and by 2015 was 14 to 1. In some university departments the political ratio is as high as 132 to 1." See the original text for lonks.

@Christian Constitutionalist No, I'm not another denier / minimizer. I suspect that the threat to free speech in academia is worse now than it was during McCarthy's time. However, we've got to come up with a better metrics to measure this, one that takes into consideration whether there are more professors or more hours of instruction in universities now than during the McCarthy era. I want things to be done in a way that those of us who are concerned about speech can not be accused of cherry picking or lying with statistics.
You're making assumptions about me and my motives. That's not nice. That's not playing fair.

Ironically, now you almost have to be a communist/socialist to become a professor.
