Quote: I'm Not Mister Mxypltk said: 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.
Show me that *anybody's* discriminating against anybody else.
I still don't see it.
The question on the essay that's a part of this argument doesn't count as "discriminating." Yes, on face it appears to be a Liberally slanted question. But we're just armchair quarterbacking on that one, unless somebody can dig up a Constitution scholar willing to say/argue that the basis of the prof's question is inaccurate/ill-founded.
This prof could just be tossing out a question to make his students stretch their reasoning ability. A kind of "show me you're developing better writing skills by taking a position you disagree with and supporting it anyway." I'm not saying that's good pedagogy (I'm not saying it's not...I have no comment on it...my training's in the Sciences where we develop experiments to test our theoretical assertions).
