It might matter if you found ONE.

I'm losing my hair here.

I didn't "label" you anything.

I made a statement about a particular teacher, and pointed out that this was part of a pattern. The whole point is that people like her are NOT rare on college campuses, and you damn well know it.

We've been over this before, including data from surveys and other statistics to back me up. At some point in the discussion, the argument usually decays down to "well, of COURSE most academics are liberal and leftist, because liberals and leftists are just so much SMARTER." And there, we usually leave it. I don't see any reason to stick my hand into the blender yet again.

Your counterexamples were feeble, especially considering the fair treatment you seem to have gotten from these conservatives in the face of what sounds like consistent shitty behavior on your part. For a budding libertarian/conservative like me back at the early 1970s U. of M, my only defense against what was being dumped on me was my silence. I spoke up once in defense of free markets in some industry, and was literally booed by the entire class.
