Liberal Professors

Well, my daughter has been at Wright State University in Dayton for nearly 3 weeks now and already has informed me that her Political Science teacher and her Honors English teacher are flaming liberals. We were forewarned about her Political Science teacher when she read a book he required before she even started at college. I can't remember the title, but it was all about how America is viewed by other countries. Well, you can imagine. She tells me that during her first class with him, he told them to forget all they had ever been told about politics, that what HE was going to tell them was RIGHT. I asked her if she was sure he wasn't just kidding, and she said he was dead serious.

I just received an email from her regarding an article she has to write an essay on in her English class...it's from Truthout.com, written by William Rivers Pitt. Now, any of you who have ever waded into the sludge that is the Democratic Underground have read the self important bloviations of this wacko. This one was full of malice towards the President, of course, pretending to be offended by the President taking a vacation (it was written in July), but using that as a springboard for half-truths and distortions which he is so famous for. Emily (my daughter) emailed me asking for some references to counter it. It was easy to do, he was using the same old tired liberal crap regarding the death toll in Iraq (conveniently leaving out the part that most of the deaths in Iraq are caused by terrorists, not the U.S. military), the Valerie Plame issue (indicting and convicting Karl Rove as a done deal), Bush's "lies" about WMDs...you know, the usual. She is very motivated to speak out, but is surrounded by apathetic college kids who just repeat what they hear the liberals say, or completely uninformed kids who really don't care one way or the other. These are the kinds of kids professors like this love, I'm sure, because they'll take whatever the professor says as gospel. Emily is anxious to counter that, and I'm only too willing to help her along the way.

She has to write an essay about Pitt's article, and her teacher says it has to be "objective." That should be interesting. I'll keep you posted.
