So, Rawhide, you would have made the profs life miserable.

You know something about creation, resurrection and flood myths that the rest of us don't, perhaps? New aspects of monotheism in dynastic Egypt? A previously unknown and unanticipated Sumerian translation? New insights on the development of winter solstice myths or agriculture and resurrection myths?

And with this wonderful knowledge that you alone possess, rather than share it respectfully with fellow scholars, you would make the profs life miserable. That would be your goal?

I don't think you would last long in the class. It's not like public school. Disprutors can be tossed. I think you need a reality check on how college classes work.

" It's not like public school. Disprutors can be tossed."

I have taught on the university level for nearly 25 years, and know of no procedure for tossing a disruptive student from a class unless the student threatens someone or brandishes a weapon. Students who repeatedly disagree with the prof cannot be expelled from a class in my university, at least, to the best of my knowledge. I have never heard of it being done, certainly not in a publicly funded university.

At very least, it would not be easy, at all and would involve numerous administrators, and might take most of the term.
