I agree with you that everyone should stand up for their beliefs. I disagree with them, but I think you have the right to stand up against what you don't think is true. I had to write a paper once on the five best presidents and the teacher gave us a list, there was Washington, Lincoln, FDR, Jefferson and at number two he had Regan. I got stuck with Regan in my class and I do not think he belongs on the top five list. I told the teacher that and he told me well he did a lot for this country and I should get over it. I did it and swallowed my pride. I kinda did the same as your son and put in "while others belong on this list as well...." and I listed Kennedy, Teddy, Truman, and Grant.

Most college professors are incredibly liberal in their beliefs. I do not think that because someone has gone to college they are smart or qualified to do anything. I've just experienced too many people who have completed college who couldn't think their way out of a wet paper bag. The assignment was definitely teaching the teacher's point of view, not opening a discussion. Kids in school (yes that includes college kids too) are in a captive audience and teachers should not be using that to further their world views. The whole idea that college is for furthering education is laughable. People go to college or send their kids there so that they have a piece of paper which helps them get a better/higher paying job. With the exception of math and hard science, I've never paid so much to learn so little.

As you well know, writing is not my strong point. This article illustrates my point far better then my ability permits.

Cyn, you obviously didn't look at the source article. When the students offered to debate him his response was to cuss them out, starting with "F@#$ You". To the best of my knowledge that has nothing to do with debating. Additionally, a debate amongst students would be great. It is absolutely inappropriate for a professor to even give his or her views. The professor should simply play the impartial mediator or devils advocate for both sides. This was nothing but typical liberal college crap.

If they object to the assignments and teachings of the college, they should withdraw and find another college to attend which is more in line with their philosophies.

Isn't that what free enterprise is all about.....choice? Surely there are some Republican/Conservative colleges around since it is such a profitable business to be in.

I just wanted to thank you for speaking out I would have told my kid not to do the essay unless he or the class could do an alturnative essay on the same subject this is bull.who do they think they are they just cram this stuff down there throwts all they want. we need to stand up and fight for whats right.

There is a story out today about ANOHTER Colorado professor that has not only forced his Republican students to do anti-Palin work, but forced them to identify themselves in class, and then have them ridiculed by liberal students while he sat there and laughed!

ONLY after a formal complaint was filed on the school, that the hack professor had to change the assignment to be balanced!

I realize myfoxorlando wont report on radical professors, as they scrub this very site when we find them at UCF, but we need to build new colleges and start some competition!

It is indeed unbelievable for a "professor" to say f u to a student for wanting debate instead of having to write a negative paper they do NOT believe in.

This is the most outrageous thing I have EVER heard of in any educational facility.

That "professor" should be fired!

A very typical liberal indeed. Do not allow debate, but force everyone to believe as you do!

Sounds like a blogger we have here! You know who!

One of the biggest lessons that you learn in college is how to navigate around Ahole's who hold positions of authority. They seem to flock to teaching college since they cant function too well at a real job. Very valuable in the real world. Your son will one day thank each Ahole he encounters in college they will prepare him for the workforce.

My son is 12 yrs old. He is a smart boy, but he's not in college yet. I was just noticing the similarities with schools.

NO TEACHER HAS THE RIGHT TO TREAT A STUDENT THAT WAY, ESPECIALLY A 12 YEAR OLD! OMGracious, I misunderstood, I thought your son was in College, THIS is EVEN WORSE!!!!!!!!!!!

This is part of what it takes to be a conservative. That is, not going sue-happy because I don't agree with something. I'd rather have a discussion and find a way around it. We are the party of adults, not screaming children. BTW, he got an A on his paper.
