Most students tell me that if I think my views need to be addressed in class then speak up.

Your friends are correct.

I just finished (at 36 years of age) a B.S. at University of California, Davis. It has the unfortunate nickname of "Mini-Berkley," because the liberal/socialist/pro-terrorist crowd is overwhelmingly prevalent.

However, with each class I took, where the hard-left agenda was pushed as the Gospel, I consistantly fought back, in class. Nothing makes a Prof. stick to the facts then being embarrassed by a student who, point by point, dispels their liberal mantras. They weren't happy about it, but I also produced top-notch results, both in tests and the various papers I had to write (Anthro classes were particularly unpleasant, due to having to read so much PC-addled excrement).

While the liberal professors and I butted heads, and they knew me by the sound of my voice, I also won their respect, and have many good references and contacts.

Stick to your guns, make sure your facts are perfect, and don't let them continue with their bald-faced lies...

Of course, I must admit I did enjoy poking a finger in the eye of all the brain-dead liberals... Especially amusing was (during a display of all the PLO "heroes" who were suicide bombers), walking around the campus in a white T-shirt with, in big black letters, "Kill ARAFAT" on the chest... WOW!!! Watch that put a twist in their knickers! :-P

Be well,

Glad to hear of your success in standing up to the profs.

I agree that the Wells students should try whenever possible to speak out, and to have their facts in line.

But as a person in your 30s and a Navy veteran, you are in a much better position to take on a hostile prof and an unsympathetic group of fellow students than a 19-yr. college girl.

It would be helpful to have a more balanced faculty. Not only for the sake of conservative students, so that they can have role models and people who will give balance to the perspedctives of what is taught. But even more importantly so that the predominantly liberal student body will have their dogma challenged.
