I've been reading this and feel I should add something.

When I was at A&M getting my undergraduate degree I had an English prof that challenged everything he thought "conservative." He openly challenged us and even ridiculed some of us that argued back. I saw him one night at the Dixie Chicken (a wonderful beer joint... still there too) and asked him if he was doing this on purpose. He laughed and said, "Of course!" He went on to tell me that he was more conservative than any of his students. He said command of the English language means being able to prove your point. So, when folks attacked his liberal statements, he encouraged them to improve their arguments by challenging them.

My point here is simple. Whether or not this professor is sincere or teaching by drama, her students are forced to argue and convince her. Students need to be challenged or you end up graduating "sheeple."

Carry on!
