I am a student Republican at Wells, and sent several emails to the campus after the release of the diversity study and once people started reacting so negatively. It was to one of my emails that Professor Vawter replied with his call for lobotomies for all Republicans. Unfortunatly, this is not an unusual comment of his. I was enrolled in one of his classes last semester and dropped because of his bigoted, biased manner of teaching.
After the release of this study, the campus has literally errupted. I hope that this leads to some positive changes in the appointment of faculty here! Most students tell me that if I think my views need to be addressed in class then speak up. If only we could put them in the situation where conservative students are now! I think they would sing a different tune if they were placed in a classroom of overwhelming conservative ideology!
As to Professor Vawter's comment that Republicans are stupid, I merely replied that when my debate opponents resort to name calling, I know I have won the debate. That's always the case, and once they get to that point (which won't take long with liberals!) You needn't bother to argue with them any further.
Thank you all so much for your supportive responses, they feel to great to hear on this tumultuous campus!
