I advise you to sit back, shut up, and crank out whatever crap will make her happy and get you a decent grade. It's an English Comp course, for crying out loud, and not worth the effort. You take those because you have to take them - unless you're an English major - and then you forget about them.

I had a Management class in college many years ago taught by a professor who started every class with a harangue on whatever pissed him off that particular day. One such diatribe ended with him pointing out that he was of an age where he could retire and with social security and his university pension, and without the various withholdings associated with them, he could make more take-home by retiring than he was by teaching. Therefore, he proudly stated, he was teaching for free. I muttered to the girl sitting next to me, "Well, you get what you pay for" and unfortunately he overheard me. Cost me an A in the class and dinged my GPA for the quarter. So, just sit back, bite your lip, and let her howl.

Your view is the view of a fool.
Courage is its reward - standing up for your beliefs will provide an example to those who need it (and precisely when they need to see it).
You should hope that she has the stupidity to fail you for your views so you can sue her, the college, & the administration and get her fired before she infects any more of the weak minded.

Good luck!

That's a pretty good line... Who cares about the grade? Someone needs to knock these academia idiots back to reality now and then.

GPA doesn't mean squat after your first job out of school...

You gave the boy the worst advice I have heard. Don't let anybody stifle your opinion of what is right. I did challenged my leftist teachers and still had a 3.8 GPA. So it can be done my friend.
