I've had my share of leftie professors myself. Whacko JFK conpiratists, EuroGreens, leftist social snipers, pseudo- "pro-rights" nutjobs who think teaching minorities academic English is racist... (Paraphrase: "Who cares if Afro-Americans can't construct a sentence. If you can understand them, that is what is important!" This philosophy will guarantee that more janitors and burger flippers will have four year degrees.)

But your prof is right on one thing. Sometimes you have to dance like an organ grinder's monkey in order to make it through, just like in the "real world." I decided early on that I would keep a low political profile on campus until I graduate and do some real "damage" as a lawyer or a professor myself as I believe that the right is underrepresented in these two fields.

Good luck in the future.
