Those backwater towns are strongly conservative- always have been, and those kids coming from there are solid citizens, not the whining gimmedat liberals that they are forced to deal with when they reach schools with their liberal proclivities. Imagine the kids, having to deal with the asinine liberal professors!
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.
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.
