I don't have any real liberal vs. conservative horror stories from the UF campus. Mostly because I take all science classes, where there's really no politcal bias. There's no bias in the atom, thank God. I have noticed that when I'm taking more Humanity-oriented classes (required to be well-rounded, after all), things are a little different. Well of course Human Sexuality is going to be taught by a liberal! Duh. I mean, I do get annoyed when conservatives were painted as backwards idiots (who STILL managed to get accepted to UF) who all went to church on Sunday and never ever ever looked at porn. In fact, one of my biggest thrills that semester was annoying my TA. He was pissed that I thought condoms should be discussed in Sex Ed and that gays marriages needed to be addressed and yet, I didn't vote for Kerry. Who'd a thunk it.

I would say a bigger problem are many of the clubs and organizations. There's a huge 'clout' issue concerning student government (and you'd be surprised how many frat brothers and sorority girls vote democrat), and the more liberal organizations have always been favored.

The whole thing wouldn't even be a big friggin' deal if there was just more diversity on campus. If it's okay to look different, act different, or come from a different country, how come it isn't okay to think differently?
