The unbiased answer is that acedemia tends to be a place where alternative ideas to the status quo have more room to breath. Also acedemics being in the buisiness of ideas over the buisiness of well, buisiness don't have as much tying them to the status quo.

@DeluxedEdition I'm sure you mean more left tilting ideas as opposed to liberal. Left leaning ideas havn't been as welcomed in our society. Well not since my Grandad's day. Academia becomes a safe place dor those in such a case because debate aNd discussion is what it is only about in that relm. With that said though there is still a lot of rifts and breaks between the academic "left" and working class blue collar "left".
