In reply to the discussion: What Is This Gender Role-Loving OU Student Even Doing In College? [View all]kwolf68

Around the college campuses with similar experiences, whether real or made up. These anecdotes will be used to purge colleges of professors that do not advance right wing orthodoxy.
Funny enough, I attended 3 colleges in my time. I found the biggest douches were the conservative profs. I had one single Liberal prof I kinda thought was out of line (I was a righty at the time), but I will say he graded me fairly. Any other prof that seemed Liberal was great. Even when I was righty I had a History of Social Movements class and I am quite sure that guy was Liberal, but he was awesome.
As far as profs spouting off their views, it was almost always righty profs: Ethics and Health Care teacher and student yelling at each other, Comm class prof writes "corporations are not the devil" on my paper advocating enhanced Cafe standards, Chemistry professor ranting about global warming, Microbiology professor spent 3 weeks lecturing against Darwinism (yea really!!! This was Professor Crocker at George Mason, she was a total nut). And there are other examples.
I honestly came away believing the Liberal professors valued healthy debate and exchange while the Con profs wanted to actually brainwash their students. That's the real aim, not to "root out" Left Wing bias, but to turn universities into right wing propaganda ministries.
My wife is a Prof at the University of Pittsburgh and I tell her to be VERY CAREFUL, which she is.

Bravo - some well-reasoned points. Yes - we don't know all the factors but make assumptions,

I think you just summed up the big difference between Liberals and Conservatives.
