As a right-wing college Republican myself, two of my lower grades (B and a B+) came from professors when I challenged their indoctrination of their students. I deserved A's in both classes
I liked the article, but the mention that the club was all-white seemed really convenient for their agenda. (Our CRs were not all caucasian thanks to me. :-) We were a very small group though in a majority-white campus.) One thing CRs need to work on on many campuses is to recruit more females. It's somewhat hard since (stereotyping here, uh-oh), college girls in my view tend to be somewhat less political and less conservative then guys. Conservative girls also tend to be less polemical than in-your-face conservative guys. One more gratuitous stereotype: conservative girls are usually more intelligent, strong-willed, and attractive than lib girls.
