My last English class left me with the same amount of knowledge I had going into it. I was extremely disappointed (not with my grades which were great) but because the Professor had made a habit of speaking against Christians (not religion, just Christians) and also had the habit of talking down on Republicans. He treated the classroom as a personal forum for his beliefs and opinions, and not the subject which we were to learn.
The times where his rants went a bit too far, another student and I spoke out against the instructor, he simply said that we misconstrued his words and were taking things too personally (she shed a few a tears). Only thing I ever learned in that class was the improper use of a semi colon.
A few other Professors definitely have a tendency to allow students to voice leftist opinions, while shutting out those with conservative beliefs, but thankfully not to the extent I had previously encountered.
The worst part is that so many students look up to their instructors, and believe everything they say to be true.
