re: Did you have any liberal professors in college?

Some center left. No crazy, foaming at the mouth SJW types.

I cannot think of one liberal professor who would actually push ideas on the class. All my professors taught their class.

I went to LSU beginning in 1998 (I won’t tell you when I graduated because y’all might mistake me for a doctor in that case ); almost all my professors were very liberal—I graduated from the college of Music & Dramatic Arts, so that’s no surprise. The only openly conservative professor I remember having was a political science 1001 teacher who had an openly liberal teaching assistant. Pretty good setup for a class like that because they played off each other well and gave the class a pretty comprehensive and open-minded approach to the curriculum.

My M&DA professors, all openly liberal iirc, couldn’t have been more tolerant of dissenting views as they pertained to our material...except for one who toward the end of his time at LSU crossed the line and imposed his shite on everyone pretty bad. Thank God he was at LSU to tell the black and female students when they were to be offended.

All of them except for my history professors

Curious where you went for school. Or when. I had a similar experience with history profs in the 90s, but a 180 degree turnaround in the last decade. At the same college.

There are a few dinosaurs around who still practice Rankian methods of evidence procurement.

The vast majority, though, put ideology first, with cherry picked evidence.

Careful documentary evidence and citation are now looked down upon as being racist/patriarchal/etc.

Academic historians who believe in attempted objectivity (acknowledging that 100% objectivity is impossible) have retired or left for other pastures (museums, institutions, government, think tanks).

The current crop of university historians seem to be majority socialist.

Had a very gay liberal New York Jew teach my freshman english lit at USL. His selected reading was a book that had some uncle/nephew incestuous shite. He actually asked the class “ do you see anything wrong?, Because, I dont.”

He would make veiled threats of grade retaliation if we express views counter to his.

I had one who was a proud card-carrying ACLU member. Another who was openly atheist.

Just take the classes, keep your head down and give them the echo chamber they desire, get the easy A and move on. Especially if your major is accounting, debits = credits no matter your religious or political view.

My English professors were. Young chick was my 1001 English prof,sat on top of the desk without her shoes on,not bad looking but we had to write essays on gun control.1002 dude was was a wreck, I think he showered only once a week. Both classes were easy As.

I took real classes like Biology, Geology, Astronomy, European History, and rest was all Econ, Finance, Acct, and MGMT.


The only times politics came in was Crumbly (right leaning), a finance professor that advised on TARP (mercenary). The only time religion came in was to tell bible beaters in Biology and History to frick off with their "But the Bible."

Back in the day there were a few. mainly chicks. A few cute ones

Do you know how hard it is to go to college and avoid a liberal professor?

I did have a history professor who was in the navy and when it came to talking about political issues during certain periods of history, he was completely down the middle, which is rare because whether they realize they are doing it or not, most professors make it obvious.

I had a political science instructor in a summer class who was ultra liberal. We had to write a few papers in the class and I think I made a B on every single one of them and throughout the paper she had a few points I made circled, then she would write a question like "If this happens then it would....." . I finished the class with a B and sort of felt that I got a B instead of an A just because she didn't agree with what I wrote in my papers.

On the other hand, I had a PS instructor who was from Cameroon (Africa). He was somewhat conservative in his views. There was this black dude in the class who would always ask questions and the instructor pretty much told him that black Americans were lazy I was even like "damn! he is racist. He really don't think too highly of black Americans".

He went on to say that black Americans thing they have it so hard. And that the village he grew up in, had to move it twice a year. Once when the water level went down and then when it rose and that if you didn't work, you didn't eat. And told that black dude in the class he wouldn't make it a week..
