UMass - Boston has implemented a program where it is required to
attend "Politically Correct" classes, and that a student must pass
these classes in order to graduate. Depending on the program, these
classes teach the "Liberal Viewpoint" to the students. A Host of
liberal-interest subjects are provided, yet absolutely no oportunity
is presented for "Conservative Studies". Education in the fundamentals
of the US Constituion is not presented, as well, as basic analysis
skills.

I guess are parents are evil by "assigning our gender":
Introduction
This course is designed to help you take a look at how the gender you
were
assigned in childhood has affected your life and the lives of other
women
and men in U.S. society.

"My teacher came into class the day after the election proclaiming,
'That's it. This is the death of America.' The rest of the class was
eager to agree, and twenty minutes of Bush-bashing ensued. At one
point, one student asked our teacher whether she should be so vocal,
lest any students be conservatives. She then asked us whether any of
us were Republicans. Naturally, no one volunteered that information,
whereupon our teacher turned to the inquisitive student and said,
'See? No one in here would be stupid enough to vote for Bush.' "
Some students undoubtedly find such banter fun. But for others it can
be chilling. And just as teachers' freedom of speech must be
protected, so must students' freedom to learn, if it is threatened.
After all, as ACTA's Anne Neal points out, "The inability to benefit
from a robust and free exchange of ideas--intellectual harassment if
you will--goes to the very heart of the academic enterprise."

Many exit polls suggested that voters considering morals
made up a significant part of President Bush’s voting block. Dr.
McTighe took this one step further when he said, “It was the religious
zealots who say they are voting on morals. I think we should all buy
AK47’s and shoot them all! That’s what I would suggest, if it were
allowed.”
McTighe saw no problem with making this type of statement
in class because apparently he felt among friends. According to
Martin, “on several occasions the teacher [McTighe] said we were all
liberals, so he probably assumed it was okay to bash Republicans.”

I actually did two semesters there. I took this stupid english 101 class
(actually, it was english 102, but you get the point). I'm a big opponent
of forcing students to take these dumbed-down useless general education
requirements. I think all "101"-level courses are absolutely useless, and
if you hadn't learned these things prior to college you shouldn't BE in
college. Hell, I ended up with a degree in physics at another university,
but skipped right over the first year physics curriculum because it's so
worthless (with a bit of lying on my part - they didn't find out until too
late).
Anyway, I couldn't get out of taking some of the gen-ed requirements, so I
had a little fun with them. I would consistently provoke the instructors.
For instance, one assignment in a writing class that I was forced to take
was to write about something you'd change about the university. The topic I
chose was getting rid of the gen ed requirements - in particular that stupid
writing class. Another paper I wrote was entitled "the moral dilemma of
paper vs. plastic", which was a BS "persuasive paper" about whether or not
to ask for paper or plastic bags at the checkout counter. It had nothing to
do with the environment, mind you. It was about friggin' bags. One line
went "A twentieth-century technological advance, plastic bags have become
America's sweetheart in the realm of grocery transport." Just a BS paper.
When I took this english 101 class, I quickly found out that the instructor
was left-leaning. So I made sure that every paper I wrote in that class had
something to do with getting rid of the "government thugs." Even papers
that had nothing to do with politics or government, I always added a shot or
two. Let's just say it didn't go over well...
The moral of the story is this: UMass Boston sucks and shouldn't be taken
seriously.

No. Don't read the thread if you're not interested. Is that a difficult
concept?
I've posted 326 football posts in this newsgroup over the past two weeks
(holy crap, I have to cut back...). You're going to fault me for 2 off
topic posts?

Exactly. I was an active conservative at Umass-Amherst in the late
80s. All of my professors were flaming liberals. To me it made class
more interesting to go and challenge them and debate them. I didn't
whine about it. Often I was the only conservative voice in the
classroom and nothing made me feel better than thrashing some airhead
coed or crunchy-communist dweeb in front of the rest of the class.
I also found that just about every one of my teacher's respected me for
speaking out and arguing an opposing view point.

Yeh, I guess understanding black History or women's issues isn't anything a
right-wing crackpot would want to learn. It's pretty tough to play that
game when you actually know something about those that you find it easy to
ignore. So, ignore away, and even brag about it as a virtue. I'm sure
Jesus would have done that too.

And we all know it is better to use plastic because it compresses
better in landfills.

When you ignore men's issues or White issues, one is being selective
and divisive. Just as giving preferential treatment in admissions and
scholarships to people who have a different racial make-up is racism.

Men's issues and white issues are covered in all the other classes. After
all, most of the scientific discoveries, works of art, etc were done by
white males.

One learns about women and Blacks in society in all courses. We all
know George Washington Carver (who I call the "pea guy") and Booker T.
Washington's literature as well as how he joined the WWE and with
brother Stevie Ray became World Tag Team Champions.
The sad fact is women and Blacks did not have much freedom in our
country's early history. It's hard to invent the electron microscope
when your picking fucking cotton.
