I am a student Republican at Wells, and sent several emails to the campus after the release of the diversity study and once people started reacting so negatively. It was to one of my emails that Professor Vawter replied with his call for lobotomies for all Republicans. Unfortunatly, this is not an unusual comment of his. I was enrolled in one of his classes last semester and dropped because of his bigoted, biased manner of teaching.
After the release of this study, the campus has literally errupted. I hope that this leads to some positive changes in the appointment of faculty here! Most students tell me that if I think my views need to be addressed in class then speak up. If only we could put them in the situation where conservative students are now! I think they would sing a different tune if they were placed in a classroom of overwhelming conservative ideology!
As to Professor Vawter's comment that Republicans are stupid, I merely replied that when my debate opponents resort to name calling, I know I have won the debate. That's always the case, and once they get to that point (which won't take long with liberals!) You needn't bother to argue with them any further.
Thank you all so much for your supportive responses, they feel to great to hear on this tumultuous campus!

Keep up the good fight!

Its to bad your post came near the end of this thread though, I wish more FReepers had read it.

You are certainly welcome, and thanks for the insight. What a wonderful comeback, classy, civil, and to the point.

"Most students tell me that if I think my views need to be addressed in class then speak up."

Of course, most college students are idealistic simpletons who think that all college professors are fair-minded and beyond conducting personal vendettas. (Been there, done that.) You are right to be warry -- assuming, of course, that your intend is to graduate with decent grades.

Keep up the good fight. Just the kind of woman who SHOULD become president some day -- the anti-Hitlary!

Keep up the good work, right in the Belly of the Beast!

Hey everyone, Wells GOP chairman here...

My officers and I have a meeting with Pres. Ryerson Monday morning at 9am...

we'll see how this goes!

On a side note, my poor roommate/best friend is terrified that I'm going to get either kicked out or put on probation.

Your friends are correct.

I just finished (at 36 years of age) a B.S. at University of California, Davis. It has the unfortunate nickname of "Mini-Berkley," because the liberal/socialist/pro-terrorist crowd is overwhelmingly prevalent.

However, with each class I took, where the hard-left agenda was pushed as the Gospel, I consistantly fought back, in class. Nothing makes a Prof. stick to the facts then being embarrassed by a student who, point by point, dispels their liberal mantras. They weren't happy about it, but I also produced top-notch results, both in tests and the various papers I had to write (Anthro classes were particularly unpleasant, due to having to read so much PC-addled excrement).

While the liberal professors and I butted heads, and they knew me by the sound of my voice, I also won their respect, and have many good references and contacts.

Stick to your guns, make sure your facts are perfect, and don't let them continue with their bald-faced lies...

Of course, I must admit I did enjoy poking a finger in the eye of all the brain-dead liberals... Especially amusing was (during a display of all the PLO "heroes" who were suicide bombers), walking around the campus in a white T-shirt with, in big black letters, "Kill ARAFAT" on the chest... WOW!!! Watch that put a twist in their knickers! :-P

Be well,
