I guess if you consider democrats as being left-wing it looks pretty unbalanced. But, I don't. The larger point though, is that in our elementary to high school years, we get a predominantly right-wing perspective of things. That changes a bit, more for some than others, when they enter college.

I'd have to see a study of K-12 political leaning, but my guess would be actually they would also probably be left of center, but not so far as the post-secondary instructors. You'd mostly need to be at least "ok" with being in a union.

For clarity, lets refer to the definitions of Brian Patrick Mitchell. Although, many of these words can have convoluted meanings over time.

American political perspectives according to their regard for kratos (defined as the use of force) and archē or “archy” (defined as the recognition of rank).

• communitarian : ambivalent toward archy, pro kratos
  
• progressive : anti archy, pro kratos (democratic progressivism)
  
• radical : anti archy, ambivalent toward kratos
  
• individualist : anti archy, anti kratos (libertarian individualism)
  
• paleolibertarian : ambivalent toward archy, anti kratos
  
• paleoconservative : pro archy, anti kratos (republican constitutionalism)
  
• theoconservative : pro archy, ambivalent toward kratos
  
• neoconservative : pro archy, pro kratos (plutocratic nationalism)

Also, I find these only useful in exploring dimensions of ideology, whereas an individuals world view can be vastly more multi-dimensional.
