My sister made the mistake of voicing her conservative opinion at one of the top masters programs in the country. The profs blackballed her and failed her, despite the fact that her work was just as good as other students’. Her fellow students recognized exactly what happened, and adopted my sister’s name as code for “Professional bias.” Higher education my arse.
INDEED.
Exactly what I was and am concerned about, still. I open my mouth plenty, and have earned a great deal of respect from my professors, despite that fact, lol. However, I know just how far to push, and I cannot risk getting blackballed or failed because I do not agree with their agenda(s). I will take my fight to them, at some future time, when there is a level playing field, not when I am at their mercy for a passing grade, so required for me to begin my career (and pay back my loans).
You have to kiss a lot of butt at some of these liberal schools. They do NOT like conservatism in any form.
