On higher education...
Expanding on the state of higher education, the worst, most ridiculous professor I ever encountered was in my freshman year writing class. This crazy liberal woman would go off on political tangents from time to time and one day she proceeded to tell us that G. W. Bush had stolen the election, and then proceeded to tell us that Iraq never invaded Kuwait, that that invasion was ficticiously created to justify going to war with Iraq for the real reasons of oil. I couldn't believe I was hearing that. Anyways I did my work got my A and then wrote on the teacher review comments sheet that she was insane and about what she had said... now the bitch works in the Honors Department here. Go figure.
Thankfully I have found a true conservative chemistry professor and I do research for him. Very refreshing. In fact he wore a great T-shirt today... it says " If you are going to burn our flag, please wrap yourself in it first".
There are few like him, sadly, in our institution. Currently I am in a battle with one of our associate athletic directors as he sent out an email promoting JMU's Athletic Department Future Minority Equity Plan. I politely emailed him back and told him after just going through medical school interviews and seeing how rampant racial discrimination is, I was sick of race being used as a factor in admissions or for special services, that was the general jist. He emailed me back, basically calling me racist and telling me to attend his upcoming diversity seminars to improve myself. Bastard. Accomplishment is where its at.
EDIT: I remembered more on what she said
