What passes for an appropriate paper topic in Professor Clifton Snider's English 100 course at California State University, Long Beach? Mr. Snider offers his students 56 suggestions on his university Web site

[JZelle]

I went to the website and he already has his rant about being misunderstood. I e-mailed him letting him know my feelings. Feel free to do the same.

This subject was covered also by Mike Adams in his column.

It is well worth reading, Adams is one of the few in the teaching field with the courage and tenure, to speak out.

...Mr. Snider explains that he doesn't "want to be tempted, even unconsciously, to not be fair" to those students who write "contrary to [his] personal views."

That's very noble of him.

It also disqualifies him from his position as professor.

Thank you very much for this. I have close relatives who graduated from LB State and will share this with them...they should know what's going on there.

Sheesh, this guy really is full of himself.

Nevertheless, when you frame a "suggestion" in such blatantly partisan terms, what grade-conscious student would argue otherwise?

Me. I was terribly politically incorrect in college. It drove the libs crazy that I would argue with (and defeat) them. But since I was 30 when I started college, I didn't really care and I still got good grades.
