I appreciate the information you included in this piece. All three of my boys are very conservative and often get into major debates with their high school and college teachers. Other students comment on how they never knew the other side of the debate. I hope everyone with teenagers encourages them to share their conservative views with teachers and friends.

There are consequences for speaking out, but my boys say it's worth it. At UCLA in a sociology class my son's prof wouldn't even read his paper and gave him a C because he didn't agree with his opening sentence. When Tim went to the administration all they would do was make the prof read it. They wouldn't make him reconsider the grad.

I once was handed a paper back to me by a prof. with a note on it... "too conservative, do again."

I gave it back to him and told him I will not do it again. Got a C.

I just posted the story, I didnt write it, but I totally agree with its conclusion, I did a google search and found the lesson plans at the school site, its unbelievable!

I once turned in a conservative "liberalism is the source of all ills" paper to a lesbian teacher. She said I was a good writer and gave me an "A". I had all "A's" in the class and was exempted from the final. Go figure.
