Don't think this is far away... My girlfriend is in a Masters of Education program. She came home upset again yesterday, as she often is after class. This time, they had been discussing economic implications on students (ie, dealing with poor students). Obviously at a mainstream university the conversation turned to how Bush and the capitalists ensure oppression. At some point, someone said that something was "communist"-in a derogatory sense. The professor took great offense. The debate ended as he spent the remainder of the class lecturing them on the evils of capitalism, the love of communism, and how the USSR and China are not really communist-but mean dictatorships. If the USA would leave everyone alone, then a communist state would emerge and the world would be good. This was upsetting as usually, but the truly upsetting part was that after class many of the other students remarked how "he opened my eyes" or "thats so beautiful" or "I hate Bush and America-why can't we leave these people alone."
