12. You seem confused and angry.

The professor was a 'liberal' not a Republican.

Did you actually watch the video? He spent more time lecturing the students on the 'evils' of Republicans than he did on writing, which was the subject. I really don't think the students are going to miss that if they are actually there for an education.

Of course, you are a partisan. You picked two of the things I did which were socially engaged and describe why YOU don't approve of them. You judge me based solely on the 'party' I was registered with determining that you would not have 'liked' me.

It isn't about like or dislike, it is about respect and disrespect. Manners, boundaries, and appropriate behavior used to count in the adult world. Do they still? Or has everything been reduced ad nauseam to personal politics - red team/blue team?

I can respect your choices even if I personally disagree with them. But if I was your teacher of writing at a college, I would actually teach you what you paid me to do. I wouldn't waste time on rancorous political speech designed to inflame or harm. That is truly cheating them out of what they paid for.
