Very good essay. You outlined your argument very well If he was fair he had to give you a good grade.

My college experience
1. In the social sciences and humanities liberals were
95% of the faculty.

2. I saw only one hard core Marxist (I will attack your beliefs in class and give you a bad grade if you disagree with me) professor. (been a few years, so may be higher percent now)

3. The liberal professors always slanted things but rarely got into full scale indoctrination.

4. There bias did have a short term effect on how I viewed things. If I had stopped reading and thinking about issues, I probably would have remained misinformed.

5. If a student continues to study a subject and uses critical thinking; no amount of biased slanted teaching will prevent them from seeing the flaws and errors in liberal propaganda.

6. Almost all of my liberal professors were so sick of students who simply regurgitated and paraphrased their textbooks; were so sick of students who could not produce a coherent argument if their life depended on it; that they appreciated any original coherent thought even if they totally disagreed with it. Kind of like, at the end of speech when they ask if their is are any questions;
you would much rather have a couple questions that were critical or challenging than to have dead silence and no questions.
