Exactly.
My 10th grade English teacher was openly pissed off at me for choosing John Belushi for my Biographical book report.
She called him a "Druggie".

I said, "Well Ed[friend in class] is doing his on Jim Morrison. He died from drugs."

Her response, "Yea but he was a talented poet."

English Teachers often suck arse when it comes to narrow-minded arrogance. OP is prime example.
If you disagree with their opinion or interpretation, you're fricked out of an A in the class.

Do the right thing and fix his grade.


This.

I almost failed a writing course in college because the prof gave me a 0 on a opinionated paper because "it was the most offensive thing she had ever read"

I took it to the Dean and he made her change it because I met the guidelines of the assignment, she just was offended over my opinion.

Lol no, you weren't at all. And that's not his logic.

The ultimate team is a feature where you "own" players and can buy/sell them from/to other people playing the game. You then use the players to play other people in games.

It's a bit of a stretch to compare it to slavery even when you strip it down like I just did, but you aren't following his logic at all.

I’m not reading 6 pages so might have been pointed out but at least the kid actually did the assignment.

Liberal propaganda is something said by a right wing nut, a poor person, a stupid person, or all three.

So when news reporters refer to someone opposed to illegal immigration as "anti-immigration" (an agenda-based, FALSE description that I see with astounding regularity), you are saying that by me observing that as liberal propaganda makes me a nut, poor or stupid? Ok, gotcha.

You're just as dumb as OP.

This guy admits he grades papers based on whether or not he agrees with the subject matter, then goes in social media with all sorts of identifiable information and bashes the kid.

The first part of that is EXACTLY what you hypocrites on this site say about our college system trying to liberalize kids. He's grading opinions, not the work. And bashing him on a very public website to top it off.

No, but mislabling every fricking thing as liberal propaganda does.

And media spin is just pandering. Conservative shows and websites do it just as much, but since you agree with them, you don't say anything.

We are starting to agree more. Another one of these and I may have to buy you a beer.

Wait, you edited your post with some nonsense... I withdraw the beer offer.

Stopped reading here. I am totally opposed to the idea. As George Carlin once famously said “Political correctness is fascism pretending to be manners.”

young liberal is mostly redundant. older, wiser, working people have figured out that liberalism is seriously fricked up and moved on.

And I mostly agree... but you are wrong that I am silent just because a news organization might lean my way. I DO see and I do say something when I see it on either side.

but indulge me with this... I have seen the term "anti-immigration" refer to those opposed to illegal immigration (an absolute FALSE description) used in local news, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, NYT, etc. All those are supposedly mainstream.

SO if main news sources pander that lie (and countless other propaganda), then do you see why we gripe?

the assignment was writing my opinion about an article about a woman complaining how hard it is to be a woman

I was..uh...not subtle with my opinion

I was a lot more assholish in my college days
