"a Peace Studies major with a Conflict resolution minor"
What????? Well, that's his first problem, right there.
He challenged the professors grading and got the points back, but worried for the rest of the semester. For one of his last assignments, a book review, he was told no when he requested to use a pro-war book because all of the suggested books were anti-war or anti-military. So Mock ignored his own views and wrote a pro-Chomsky paper for which he earned an A+ and 10 points of extra credit.
