Yale Professor Amazed And Embarrassed To Learn That Tea Party Members Know Their ScienceOctober 18, 2013 by Sam Rolley Yale Professor Amazed And Embarrassed To Learn That Tea Party Members Know Their ScienceConservatives are often ridiculed for being anti-academic science deniers by their liberal detractors, but a new study from Yale may force the American left to remove accusations of scientific illiteracy from their list of smears against conservatives.After analyzing the responses of more than 2,000 American adults recruited for a study, which indicated that people who leaned liberal are more likely to be science literate than those who leaned conservative, Yale law professor Dan Kahan found that Tea Party members are the exception.To the professor’s surprise, he discovered that people who identified as part of the Tea Party movement were better versed in science than liberals as well as conservatives as a whole.Kahan said that the results surprised and amazed him.
