Only if you are concerned about your grades.
Well ‘DUH’.
Of course they were hostile. Hasn’t he been paying attention?
Journalism schools are a fraud.
Great post. Kudos to a student who is willing to expose the liberal regime in power at the majority of higher learning institutions in the USA. I am sure the author is learning a very valuable personal lesson as well as writing a great article.
What did you think was going to happen Danny boy?
Lib, commies , fascists are evil mean hateful people. How would you think their response would be otherwise?
I guess you could chalk it up to naivety but after reading the rest of the column ignorance is more like it.
Two words: Palmer Raids.
“Yet, out of the 111 registered Oregon voters in the departments of journalism, law, political science, economics, and sociology, there were only two registered Republicans.”
At my university, it broke down pretty much along these lines:
Journalism & Poly Sci: center-left to pretty danged liberal. The guy who taught defense policy was a Joe Lieberman type.
Sociology: Moonbat city.
Economics: Hardcore economic Libertarians. The department chair was a tough as nails Texan who was probably a social conservative as well, but the profs all kept their personal views out of the classroom. As a whole, they were a pithy bunch, too. One of my profs had a picture on his door of a prime rib being carved up. The caption underneath said “Screw Vegetarians, Let’s eat some MEAT!” :-)
No, it is simply a sign that more members of the GOP have learning difficulties and that maybe, just maybe, they need to learn how to learn. You know, open that ‘ol mind up and learn some new tricks.
parsy, the conservative DEMOCRAT
I had one conservative professor, and a couple who were mum on the subject. The rest ranged from disinterested liberals to hardcore Communists. In grad school I was one of two conservatives in my classes, three, counting a state trooper who was middle of the road. We were the top of the class. I had one grade given to me on one paper that was obviously low, B, because of political reasons. The class title was the “State.” I believe my argument was that Capitalism isn’t hostile to Democracy. Thank goodness those days are over. I can imagine how much trouble I could get into these days.
Here’s my experience at the UofO as a parent:

Transfer to the school of management. Any even relatively conservative professors will be there.
Could yall imagine going back to college and just giving lib profs hell.Grades?LOL.Who cares as long as you can make their life hell at least one hour a day and maybe more if your friends went back to school with you.
I had a Sociology class in college which had a very hard left professor.She adopted a baby from China and told us about how she was going to raise it with Chinese traditions. I asked if that meant that the kid would be a communist too. She asked me to leave for the day!
It’s only a problem if your professors are bringing their political views into class. Otherwise, who cares what their political affiliation is, as long as they’re competent at teaching their respective subjects? In fact, if you had to ask them in order to discover what their voter registration card said, then they’re doing their jobs properly.
I’ve taken over 40 courses at a fairly liberal university. I’ve had maybe 4 professors mention their political views in passing, and they affected the content of only two courses (of a sort where it would be difficult for the content to be unaffected) and I only had one professor try to drag politics into a distinctly non-political course. Incidentally, I failed that course - not directly due to political conflicts, but because I was too sick to go to all my classes and I figured if I had to miss something, I might as well miss the class where I hated the prof... but the other 35+ classes, wouldn’t have a clue what their voter registration card said (if they actually had one to begin with, I think half of them still had green cards).
