Imagine the empty life of teaching English is some backwater Maine
community college, and then making a fuss\

oh, they fill their lives plenty.

as, with, the self appointed guards of society as college english teachers that dole out essay assignments of a political nature.

then down grade that essays grade to lower conservative students in relation to liberal students.

thus giving their selected liberal students an advantage in grading.

i witnessed this first hand when i was in college and wrote an assignment defending Clarence Thomas against the anitta hill smear . that paper, that correctly used every punctuation in the english language , had zero grammatical or spelling errors was down graded to a b+ thus ruining a 4.0 semester gpa over “ content” of an opinion she detested.

i would bet this is a standard tactic of academia.

i often ignore english rules to smoke out libtards who have the same mindset. SPIT.

Already been done decades ago.
You really need to read the highly suppressed and now out of print 1982 Senate report on the RKBA. I have a paper copy from the US Government printing office.

Here is an on line copy.
https://guncite.com/journals/senrpt/senrpt.html

“The conclusion is thus inescapable that the history, concept, and wording of the second amendment to the Constitution of the United States, as well as its interpretation by every major commentator and court in the first half-century after its ratification, indicates that what is protected is an individual right of a private citizen to own and carry firearms in a peaceful manner.”

19th century cases
16. * Wilson v. State, 33 Ark. 557, at 560, 34 Am. Rep. 52, at 54 (1878).

“If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the (p.17)penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of constitutional privilege.”

17. * Jennings v. State, 5 Tex. Crim. App. 298, at 300-01 (1878).

“We believe that portion of the act which provides that, in case of conviction, the defendant shall forfeit to the county the weapon or weapons so found on or about his person is not within the scope of legislative authority. * * * One of his most sacred rights is that of having arms for his own defence and that of the State. This right is one of the surest safeguards of liberty and self-preservation.”

18. * Andrews v. State, 50 Tenn. 165, 8 Am. Rep. 8, at 17 (1871).

“The passage from Story (Joseph Story: Comments on the Constitution) shows clearly that this right was intended, as we have maintained in this opinion, and was guaranteed to and to be exercised and enjoyed by the citizen as such, and not by him as a soldier, or in defense solely of his political rights.”

19. * Nunn v. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846).

“’The right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed.’ The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State.”

And the SCOTUS case that led to the Civil War..

Are Negros citizens...Dred Scott
“It would give to persons of the negro race, who are recognized as citizens in any one state of the Union, the right to enter every other state, whenever they pleased.... and it would give them full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might meet; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to KEEP AND CARRY ARMS wherever they went.”
Paragraph 77 in the link below.

Luke 22:36

“Then said He unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.”

Jesus didn’t need heat. Jesus IS heat. He did mention something about selling your cloak and buying a sword…

This is nothing new. Just for info, I graduated college in 1979. I was a straight A Dean’s list student who started college by testing out of 6 hours of Math, 6 hours of Science, 6 hours of History/SS, and 6 hours of English. All of these credited me with hours completed except the English College, which just started me in Junior level classes (U of Mo. Columbia).

In my last semester, the only English class I could fit into my schedule was called Technical Writing. I was the only person in it that wasn’t Pre Law. There were only 4 papers written that were from 20-30 typewritten pages on various subjects, one of which was a political opinion, backed up with references, etc. I wrote mine on the Gun Control Act of 1968 and its connections to the Kennedy assassinations. I did a hell of a job and it came back as a flat D. I had one paper left to write before the class was over and since we had a hard list at the start with the points for each of the four papers I applied my Math skills and found that I could get a C- without the final paper and never went to the class again.

When the paper was due I was requested to speak to the teacher (don’t remember if it was a TA or Prof) and I did just that, telling her the only reason I was in the class and that I didn’t appreciate my grade being whacked because she didn’t agree with my opinion, even though it was backed up with references. She looked like she was about to cry, so I left. Probably went out and shot a round of trap or skeet afterwards.

Don’t disrespect EASTERN Maine. Those people are salt of the earth. They are farmers, lobsterman and self employed. They are unlike the Liberals in the Kittery to Freeport area.

No disrespect for Eastern Maine, just for the Massachusetts transplants who live there.

I've driven through northern Maine, well west of the ocean. That is the loneliest place I've ever been. I used to live in the Intermountain West (Utah, Wyoming). But compared to parts of Maine, nothing is so bleak, desolate, and melancholy.

I’m trying to decide if Lewandowski is bent outta shape because her student owns guns, because she’s a Christian, or both. Or perhaps it’s because the Jesus she believes in isn’t the warm, cuddly, ecumenical version the Left likes to believe in. Their Jesus would never claim to be the exclusive source of salvation. Nor would he advise his disciples to own swords; going so far as to say “sell your cloak and buy one” if necessary.
