Is the Civil Rights movement what turned the South Republican for 50 years..

Even at more politically conservative schools like Stanford, I am sure that much of the faculty has a more liberal bias....

Stanford politically conservative? Either that's good sarcasm and I give you props or someone clearly had a three martini lunch.
 
Is that code for when a professor espouses their liberal ideas the student accepts them?
No I don't think so but often young folk in college and away from the influence of home for the first time are often challenged to think critically about the paradigms they were raised with as being true. It sure happened to me and it probably would have happened to you too if you hadn't of run off and gone to that 2nd tier party school. :p

Hey, what's wrong with a 2nd tier party school. I learned a lot.
 
Compared to Berkley, Yes.....

Well compared to Berkeley sure but anywhere compared to Berkeley is going to look conservative. It's like when they call the westside of San Francisco conservative. It's probably more liberal than 99% of America but within SF it's not as progressive so it's considered 'conservative'.

Stanford has a liberal student body.

Oh Come one Wacko. You have to admit with your family background that a lot of your conservative views are based on rebelling from the liberal views of your parents and gandparents. So if an urban kid like you from a very liberal background can have his paradigm changed to a more conservative view....why not the other way around?
 
My father was a professor of architecture, fully tenured, then decided he wanted to practice architecture.

Pretty much this....my 20 year old son rebelled against my liberal views until he got a liberal girlfriend.
