I was harassed by a neo-con student when I was a professor. She kept changing the subject from actual class material. The first day she talked about prayer in school (not a topic covered in this course), when I was trying to just go over the syllabus. Most frustrating, she had zero critical thinking skills, dominated the class, and angered the other students.

Instead of the paragraph about McCarthy, you should have clipped something about the actual bill you're talking about. You literally clipped nothing but rhetoric, with no substance whatsoever.

LOL

Pop for more substance

dmegivern,

Your student was not a neo-con. She was a kook. Your whining about one kook has something to do with the Academic Bill of Rights? Are you actually trying to draw some connection between someone who was obviously in the wrong class and Sen. Joseph McCarthy?

You need to grow a thicker skin prof. Suck it up and do your job.

Wow, I got a visit from a troll. Makes me feel special. Who are you Mr204, David Brooks from the New York Times? Someone on clipmarks who isn't brave enough to actually show an identity. Whatever. I am NOT a professor anymore as my profile clearly suggests. I got sick of neo-cons beliefs that there are no facts, no knowledge, everything is just opinion. And all opinions are equal. Why bother with education if that is the case?
