I haven't found too many attempts by professors to pontificate from the podium in the classes I take though I know it does exist in some classes at the college. One of the courses I am taking is immigration law. Several weeks ago, the professor brought in a video of the southern border in Arizona showing both sides of the political argument. To my amazement, it was the instructor who was defending the right of Americans to defend the border against illegal immigration while more than half of the class was spewing moronic venomous hate toward the attempts to intercept illegals by the minuteman organization and against the professor's remarks.
My instructor is a practicing immigration attorney.

If this had happened in military school, the culprits would have been expelled immediately, no ifs, ands or buts. ======== www.namsouth.com/viewtopic.php?t=108&highlight=greenbrier4.

I ran into some of this in College. I had a Geographic Sociology instructor who was very liberal. We bumped heads, figuratively, more than once. He hated when facts were brought up that didn't fit his world view. He hated it even more when you had the proof in writing that showed he was lying. Working the late shift at the library had some benefits.
I also had an instructor from Haaarvaaard, who taught how we rapped the land and killed all the Native Americans on purpose. He didn't like it when I used his favorite professors' writings, and his own thesis paper to show he was taking a very uninformed view on the issue. I wonder if that was why he gave me my only B in my major?

I wonder if that was why he gave me my only B in my major? Sometimes that's what you get when you stand on principles... but I wouldn't have it any other way. During my many years in the service, I paid a price for my outspoken ways and brashness... especially when I "questioned" the upper chains actions or motives in different matters. But again, I would have it no other way. I left the service with no regrets and a clear conscience, I did my best to leave it better than I found it.

Had an Economics Prof damn near kick me out of her class. She started arguing for government intervention from a Keynesian perspective and I kept throwing Chapter 1 and 2 "basics" about artificial price floors/ceilings at her with real world examples of why her opinions were bunk.
A liberal might be able to hold two entirely contradictory ideas in their head at once, but one thing they can't stand is LOSING an argument in public.
