When I re-started college after spending 4 years in the US Navy, 'way back in '73, I had some difficulties with certain instructors in the departments of History and English. Some things haven't changed much.
Joanne Jacobs has interesting stuff on "liberal" college professors HERE.
An excerpt:
I recall when I started my PhD program that the professor I was "TA"ing for at the time, got all the TAs together and told us how to deal with "right wing assholes" who will try to steal the discussion and push their narrow views on the class.
I made a comment about how, yeah, extreme views on either side of the spectrum are bad when taken overboard - what is needed is real discussion considering all the sides of the issue.
I was given an odd look and told that liberals are never wrong and their views are appropriate for class, since liberals are open-minded and tolerant and that's what higher education is about: liberalizing the students.
Feedback?
