What we're witnessing is all the losers from the 60's & 70's who've schmoozed their way into tenure, are now being exposed as the frauds they've always been. | ahhh, the hardcore typical right wing talking points now.
The media is biased, the universities are full of hippies.
Great, don't send your kid to college then - I mean why bother, they'll just be indoctrinated right?
I'd love to see you actually support the "those that can't - teach" argument. |

I have yet to see a single policy of McCain's that is not what is the status quo already. |

Lean: Slightly Conservative Gender:  | Re: Metro State Prof Investigated For Palin Assignment My dad was in college during the Reagan years and his college professor for political science was a liberal professor. My dad at the time was Reagan Democrat and thought his professor was an idiot, but he was incredibly bias. He would give papers that were against what ever Reagan did an A and if they were for Reagan they did bad. So during his final exam my dad wrote an essay that agreed with all of the professor's ideas and got an A on the exam. Now according to my dad his friend wrote a paper that was conservative and for Reagan he got a C. Now my dad read his friends paper and everything about was better than his in every way. Just a family story I thought I would share.

Just a family story I thought I would share.  | I had a professor like that but it was the Catholic Church he was biased against. Anything written in his class that mentioned the RCC without an obligatory nasty comment to go along with it was demeaned and the paper was sure to get a letter grade lower. Now I don't know how he expected us to write about John Milton and Geoffrey Chaucer without mentioning the Catholic Church and being that I am Catholic, I certainly wasn't going to say undeservedly harsh things about the RCC just to help him through whatever trauma he had over the Catholic Church. My guess is that some nuns barbecued his pet kitten and fed it to him when he was younger because only something like that could account for his rabid hatred.
In the end, I had to take some of my papers to the dean of CHASS to have them regraded because it got so bad OTHER students reported his derision toward me. Every one of those papers was given an A where he had given them C's and D's. |
