Quote: Jim Jackson said: No, this was not pointed out. Why? Because I don't believe it's true.
Why? Why would conservative professors be any less likely of comitting that stupidity? I don't think it's the liberal in the professors discriminating the students, it's the human in them.
Quote: I try very hard for this not to happen. I see no reason why I couldn't sit down with, say, G-Man, and have a drink with him despite the disparity of our political viewpoints.
One of my dearest, dearest friends is a hardcore Indiana Republican. Doesn't matter. Yes, we can get into heated arguments over politics, but our friendship always wins out.
You try, which means you recognize the problem. I try too, yet sometimes I think back and realize I've just done it again, and try to correct it. I have many friends I disagree with radically (there's still people who support Pinochet, if you can believe that), but they all happen to be childhood friends or people I knew for a while before knowing their political tendency.
