Conservative study reveals academic bias

If you go back and look at the list of characteristics that define conservatism, you'll discover that it applies to liberals, too. Fear of ambiguity, a desire of cognitive closure, etc: These are human traits, not conservative ones.

Plenty of liberals refuse to accept that a factory closing can be a good thing or that something other than racism is to blame for the problems blacks face. There are liberals who will tear your eyes out if you say that the 1964 Voting Rights Act had problems or that it's not clear Head Start is worth the money.
