Survey by American Association of Professors shows nearly quarter of respondents are switching due to states’s politics

Many professors in the US south, particularly in Florida, South Carolina and Texas, are considering leaving their state because of the impact the political climate is having on education, according to a new survey by the American Association of Professors.

The survey received responses from approximately 4,000 faculty members across the south and included other states, such as Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Kentucky, in its findings. About 25% of the professors in Texas who responded said they have applied for teaching roles in other states in the last two years, with another 25% saying they intend to start a search.

Last year, salary was the top reason as to why educators across the south were seeking employment elsewhere. In this year’s findings, however, “broad political climate” was the top motivator.

Canada or Australia would probably be my top choice, but it seems like they've also become a target for far right propaganda

Their goal is and always has been global domination. I worry you can only run so far before it eventually finds you wherever you end up. I'm definitely trying to plan an emergency exit strategy, but I think we always need to remember the more people that flee the easier it is to completely take over. Once that happens, I am very doubtful the authoritarian axis will be satisfied. They'll just start plotting how to continue taking over other countries.

Look at what the U.S. was just caught doing in Greenland. If it sounds familiar it's because these guys are all getting their strategy from the same playbook.

Of course that's the calculus. Stay and fight the disinformed where I am, or go to a more well-defended location?

It's easy to forget that record numbers of US citizens have gone from proudly having belief with no evidence in a Sky Daddy, to not having any affiliation with anti-reason traditions

From only 8% back in 1980, up to 2024 where 25+% are now at least ostensibly members of the reality-based community
