really?
When?? What subject? Do you still live in the area? : ) I moved from Los Gatos to GA three years ago, but my parents live a mile away from WV.
I am old, so I don't remember any of my teachers' names...heeheehee
Yup...taught Bankruptcy Law there only for a semester or two. Some students complained that I was TOOOO HAAAAAARRRRRRD.
One actually asked me once, "Do we have to know this?"
Still live in the general area.
I found out this teacher has a history of this. Including giving an "F" to a paper he didn't agree with.
BY the way, I have found out the teacher has a history of this kind of behavior.

I know about indoctrination from first-hand experience in the late 1980's when I was an undergrad. The fear of getting a bad grade kept me quiet at first. Nevertheless, I quickly learned my lesson and I started to shy away from subjective courses and I took more analytical and math oriented courses such as accounting, structural engineering, and statistics.
Unfortunately, I had many classmates who were indoctrinated. The bottom line is that if the students become indoctrinated then they never really learn to think for themselves. They mostly look at symptoms of problems in life and say, "Let the government fix that!" Never mind the fact that the government created the problem in the first place. Because they were so heavily indoctrinated, they focus on symptoms while ignoring the cause.
Since it has been a while since I graduated, I can also say that most of my friends who were heavily indoctrinated did not pursue a profession related to their fields of study. I think that the indoctrination made them inept in a capitalist country. With all the indoctrination going on, all they got was a bunch of theoretical hogwash based on the now failed Marxist philosophy. End result: a lot of them went into law and I became an architect.
My favorite link related to this subject:

Indoctrination is everywhere except at the Christian colleges. Where is everywhere? Public, private, large, small, in-state, out-of-state, junior college, four year college, ...
If students spoke up and said, "You're using taxpayer funded classtime to propagandize us with your politics", or "This is a classroom not a political rally - please stick to the subject of this course" or "I will be bringing a tape recorder to all future lectures" EACH AND EVERY TIME the idiot used class time to spew his agenda, and he was EMBARRASSED in front of the students each time he did it, they'd probably be much more quiet about their personal politics. Nobody wants to be embarrassed. They only do it because they know the students won't speak out against it.
