FIFY

This from the "no kidding" file. Thing is, since almost everyone employed by colleges are leftist, no one really cares if conservatives get screwed.

That this is obviously true really shouldn't have even required a "study".

We're talking about people who openly say that all ideas counter to their own amount to some form of bigotry.

By definition, this would mean making any arguments in a persuasive paper that didn't line up with theirs would be considered invalid on their face.

I'm absolutely SHOCKED that nutjob progressive TDS afflicted college professors would discriminate against non-Leftwing students.

Shocked, I tell ya.

I think the key here is that bias is easier to hide with subjects that deal in less objective grading.
IE, on a math test if you get 90% of the problems right then there's nothing the teacher can do.

But let's say that a 19 year old Laurence Olivier is taking Interpretation of Dramatic Literature and the leftist teacher knows that Laurence is in the Young Conservative Club. For the final he does a brilliant scene from Shakespeare's Othello.

Teacher: "I'm sorry, Laurence, but I don't think it's appropriate for a white person do try that role. D+"

Thanks for the input, professor.

I absolutely was.

As a bright eyed naive idealistic freshman, my English 101 Composition class was taught by a guy from Berkeley. The theme was racism. Every essay, every reading, every discussion for every class of the semester was racism.

I wrote a challenging, conservative essay. It was not racist at all but it did challenge and question pc viewpoints on race. He gave me an F and called me out (albeit anonymously) in class, saying that he was insulted and offended.

Not wanting to die on a particular small and unimportant hill in my grand plan of excelling in college and going to law school and becoming a lawyer, I went to his office for a sit down. I essentially made it seem like he was educating me, developing me, enlightening my mind. I talked with him again a few times throughout the semester.

I gave him what he wanted in the essays, which was your stereotypical pc bs. I did well on the remaining work and got a B out of the class. Then I gtfo out of there.

Which is what the left struggles with.

Had a history professor who did this. Gave me a zero on a couple of papers because he disliked the source. Which was Newsweek, the same source everyone else was using

)0he just didn't like the article

This is real.
