I just thought I'd share this story about a Philosophy professor that I had a few years ago. This experience illustrates the liberal brain washing that is college. Kathleen Ramsey was a PHd in a few different subjects. I took her Intro to Philosophy class through the University of Phoenix in order to satisfy a core transfer requirement at my alma mater.
We had to write an essay about how philosophy has changed over the centuries. Part of my response said that bad experiences with abusive authority figures have taught us to question leadership. She gave me a 50% on that assignment (50 for something unrelated, and basically a 0 for saying experience has influenced political philosophies)
For any assignment we were given, if I expressed a desire for smaller government or an aversion to Big Brother, she would give me 0's for that assignment. Her explanation was that this was "not philosophy." She said that a lot, even though the textbook covered political philosophy.
Another student, Anthony Sanchez, expressed the same view that I did. She publicly insulted him in front of the class and docked both our grades. Towards the end, she was extremely rude to me.
I've had negative experiences with the good old Ivory Tower before. College tends to be liberal anyway for different reasons. I thought this experience was especially shameful because this woman was supposed to be a Philosophy professor, but she was imposing her views on all of us.
I'm a big stickler for citations, so I included the last public forum discussion as an attachment. You bet I filed a formal complaint after I had received my grade.
