By DAVID DURANT Much has been made of the left's domination of college and university faculties. Yet in terms of political composition, the library profession makes your typical Ivy League faculty look like the Heritage Foundation. Had the 2004 election been confined to librarians, I firmly believe that the presidential race would not have been between Kerry and Bush, but between Kerry and Nader. The full article can be found at The Chronicle of Higher Education.

If I had known there were so many like-minded folks who are librarians I might have taken my mother's advice to become one!

That brought a smile to my face this morning.
Actually....We have a large staff with no nuns, brothers, or priests teaching. It's all lay people.

That's funny.
Isn't this been a big problems with all unions in past years? They take due and promote a political agenda that the majority didn't agree on.

It has been a large problem. The ALA isn't a union, but a professional organization that is to promote the profession and goals of librarianship.
The question is, "How well does the ALA represent all librarians?"
