Sorry. I was being facecious, did not mean that seriously.

I was a member of a newspaper at a nominally Catholic law school on the East Coast. After our editor in chief ran an article that graphically denounced abortion, the newspaper was closed by the administration, purged of all active Catholics, and turned over to a new editorial staff who thought that Seinfeld was God (at least, they purged all references to religion and replaced them with Seinfeld quotes, particular the Soup Nazi quote about 'no soup for you.') We were publicly identified as 'enemies of the people' and treated as pariahs for the remainder of our stay there.

Ugly memories of an ugly time.

I'm sorry to hear that. However, it sounds to me like you were more the victim of a liberal administration than student body. The fact that the administration dealt so harshly with those who were openly conservative is a clear indication of my point. You probably had no idea how conservative your classmates really were. I remember working in an office where "political correctness" led me to keep our opinions to ourselves. Then one day, somebody got pissed off an voiced his Conservative opinon on an issue that Liberals had gotten just flat-out wrong (I think it was the OJ trial). By the end of the day, it turned out that 90% of the office was pro-life, anti-affitmative action, and pro death penalty. On the matter of the current President of The United States at the time, the feeling was unanimous: We all hated his guts.
