I hear you about the college profs and kids going along to get along. My son learned fast his first year in school. He wrote a paper skewering liberal principles his freshman year and got a D on it. After that he tailored everything he did to reflect what the profs wanted to hear and became and “A” student.
We used to scheme writing strategies over dinner. His school required “African studies” course for graduation. His proudest moment was a paper he wrote with the premise, “You are a racist if you disagree with Obama”. Got an A on that one.
That’s hilarious.
My son, in high school, wrote a paper on the Indian revenge. Millions killed via tobacco. Lol. It was funny.
