Yeah...right. I've taught in several Big Ten universities and I doubt if I could find any prof who likes to be challenged on their political beliefs. I feel for this kid because Sragow is going to hold this against him and his grade will likely suffer.
The events in Post 7 happened at Indiana University; what you say about professors at Big 10 university not wanting to be challenged politically is true. I really wanted to tell him off, but I needed a grade to get to law school. I knew it was BS.
Unfortunately, too many of my classmates drank the Kool Ade.
