I have to spend more time fact-checking and debunking the stuff these twits espouse rather than working with the majority of the students on the content that matters. I’m forced to give these little bastards all the time they demand, because if I don’t they go and make a formal complaint with the administration that I am preventing their perspective from being represented. I can get called up on the mat for not respecting these little snowflakes’ unique view of the world.
Education shouldn’t be ideologically based, but the College Republicans have made it that way. David Horowitz and Ben Shapiro have made teaching in higher ed, especially political content, a freaking minefield. These are the same people that complain that liberals are all about being special, but they are the first to demand special treatment in class. Of all the problems I have seen in my department only once has a content issue been raised by a non-conservative student. Compare that with the dozens of complaints that get lodged each year because the conservative ideal is not represented in what they think is a fair or accurate light. The College Republicans are the first to protest. I think it’s great that they should be fed some of their own medicine.

So you think the liberal professor who was hospitalized also deserved her injury because she chose to consort with the enemy?
