I don't think that is true. Why would I think anyone is evil based on their religion or race?

I don't think like that...
Never said you think that way but it was obvious that one of my professors felt that way. Made for an extremely uncomfortable semester. And I was a democrat during that semester.

He is trying to compare apples and oranges, yet when other people bring up the possibility that many other things could be genetic, then of course it is dismissed by the left as apples and oranges.

Yeah. It would be uncomfortable. I can imagine why.

Just because your professor made it feel like that though does not mean you are bad for being Christian or a man. (I know you are a woman..just saying)

But what does being Democrat during that time have to do with it? I think anyone would feel uncomfortable about that-Democrat or Republican.

I was well-equipped enough after college, so that is somewhat of a cop-out in my opinion. I had plenty of job opportunities, just not in the field I decided I wanted to be in - which requires a Master's degree. Anyway, off-topic!!

I am in the field of education, and never heard anything of the sort in college or grad school. Where are you getting this information? Because you had ONE professor who made his political leanings known? FYI, at least half of my professors were white men (not sure of their religion), so I doubt they think white men are evil.

Did you go to college? If so, which one/s? Just curious, because as I said earlier, none of my liberal California colleges fit these descriptions...

gizmo980, you can't be serious. Either you slept through the classes or you so completely agreed with your professors that you simply absorbed what they said.

Apparently you've never talked to Mike Farrell, Michael Moore, or Alan Alda

Look at the history of slavery and civil rights, without the supreme court, there'd still be segregation (and probably slavery again) in the south. While it's true that churches do good things for the community, they also do some awful things too. They brainwash idiots into believing that fairy tales are true, they try to force their beliefs on people who have no desire to live like them and they are incredibly ego-centric. You don't have to be a church person to do good, despite what you may think.
Thank you, Dan. I couldn't have said it better myself.

True conservatives understand that the interpretation of a state's Constitution by the state's Supreme Court will always take precedence over the results of a popular vote.

Actually, there are plenty of private parochial schools you could have attended if that was unwanted information they were trying to give you.

Just like with grammar and HS, this is what is best for those who need to stay safe and naive.

DO share with us, what REALLY is going on in the world today?

Please enlighten us with the other sides propoganda.
