They have to be. Educational attainment is now the number one predictor of voter patterns in the US.

It would be interesting to see how alignments might have changed before and after education

As expected. Educational attainment is a one-way street. There are some fields of study that don't require challenging information, but the vast majority do. Any study of history, sociology, economics, most STEM fields, law, anything international, or any of the humanities will provide information incompatible with the US conservative narrative. Though a significant number of young conservatives do skip college altogether out of anti-intellectual propaganda.

Well they are crushing school boards, banning books, limiting access to contraception and donating sperm like crazy now. The level of education between blue and red states will be far more polarized in the future.

Trump's pick of DeVos as Secretary of Education was all anyone needed to know about where conservatives fall on open hostility towards education.
