"Is it still South West Texas or did they change the name? " How did you attend UT and depart unscathed. My cousin arrived as a conservative and left a fruit cake."
Southwest Texas did change it's name, but I don't recall the new name off hand.
At the time that I attended the University of Texas at Austin I already had some life experiences under my belt. I went in knowing what U.T. was all about, and I went in knowing that many of the Professors were avowed Communists. I knew from some of my previous experiences that these people were basically full of shit, so they were unable to influence me. I stood up to some of my professors, and paid the price for it .
In one case, I had a philosophy professor that used to read quotes from articles in "Da Communard" in class. This professor passed out Xerox copies of one article and had the class write a paper on the article. I was kind of at a loss as to how this exercise fit into to the outline for the course, but I did as I was instructed by the professor. I shot down the points of propaganda in the article, and concluded by adding that "people that would read and believe this garbage were the very people that Lenin was referring to when he coined the term "useful idiots." I ended up getting a B in the course. I aced all of the tests, but got down graded on all of the other papers that I wrote (that coincidentally did follow the course outline).
That took a lot of courage and I'm proud of you for taking a stand. That must have been a difficult situation for you. I would have been seething in class with smoke coming out of my ears. I didn't face that at TWU, but I'm sure they were there. Luckily, I didn't sign up for their classes and they all adhered to the course outline. I had a conservative American History teacher who didn't make me feel guilty for being white. It was a welcomed surprise of which I was grateful.
I don't know why, but the arrogance and disdainfully haughty attitude of a liberal always shocks me. I cannot imagine walking into a class and forcing my beliefs on others, especially if I had power and influence such as this teacher. If it was in the course outline, sure. I guess I'm just a stick to the subject at hand kind of person who obeys the rules of polite society with discretion. Liberals never miss an opportunity to vomit communisim or socialism all over anyone who will listen. Pathetic because they so rudely assume everyone is interested in their superior knowledge and wisdom. 
"Da Communard"??? The nerve!! What a loser!
You must have had good parents who planted seeds of conservative wisdom in you.
