Lost points on a paper for using "homophobic" because the prof said that it "made it sound like there was something wrong with opposing homosexuality."
They get federal money, and i don't really give a rats ass. I knew i was going to lose respect for it...it was a conservative place. I didn't expect the grade to suffer, but that doesn't change things.
Lebell...the cure is worse than the disease. that's why i oppose it. What's neutral? What's objective? When you choose to take a course with a prof, you are giving them the chance to evaluate your scholarship. that evaluation may be fair, it may not be. but you asked for it.
not presenting "opinions as fact" is SO laughably unenforceable as to be completely absurd. such a law will never stand on the grounds that it is completely vague as to what the prohibited behavior is.
if students are penalized for speaking out...have them take it up with the dean. there are ways of doing this that don't place the government in charge of policing academic discourse.
