When I was in college, my liberal professor (excuse the redundancy) announced that we could do a report on ANY contemporary social studies book we wanted. I told him I wanted to report on this one and he almost had a stroke. At first he was about to refuse, but after I pressed the issue somewhat, he grudgingly gave in.
Do you happen to still have your report?
This has happened to me a lot. I often challenged my fascist in class. Also dropped me down a full grade even though I was always an A student. But I didn't care in my Master's program. The younger kids watched me and I believe I taught them not to drink the Kool Aid AND the it was Kool Aid. lol.
