Quote: I'm Not Mister Mxypltk said: But the point is I didn't have to defend my points, for me it was just of saying "yep, I agree with that" and expand a little to get a good grade, while the others had to actually defend their views, and if that rarely happened in class was because the few times it did the teacher showed us how fucking good he was at making arguments that left no space for the other side to even be concieved. I can't imagine what it must have been like to be a conservative a turn a paper to the guy, it's a completely different class for them, certainly a more difficult one, and that's not fair.
If what you say is in fact accurate, rather than just your opinion of it at a distance, then report the professor to the Department. But you better go in with proof rather than assertion-that-is-opinion.
Did your classmate ever say anything to the professor about his perceptions of the situation?
I'm not saying an individual prof cannot be biased against the Right. My point is more than it will take a ton of evidence to convince me it's a problem in academia and that students are actually receiving poor grades when in fact they deserve better ones.
