I'm sorry to hear that. However, it sounds to me like you were more the victim of a liberal administration than student body. The fact that the administration dealt so harshly with those who were openly conservative is a clear indication of my point. You probably had no idea how conservative your classmates really were. I remember working in an office where "political correctness" led me to keep our opinions to ourselves. Then one day, somebody got pissed off an voiced his Conservative opinon on an issue that Liberals had gotten just flat-out wrong (I think it was the OJ trial). By the end of the day, it turned out that 90% of the office was pro-life, anti-affitmative action, and pro death penalty. On the matter of the current President of The United States at the time, the feeling was unanimous: We all hated his guts.

I wish I could agree. But, no. They held three all-school 'special action meetings' to 'discuss the challenge to our community' presented by the newspaper. Each meeting had more than 200 attendees of whom 95% of the speakers called for our heads. The reorganization meeting that voted us into oblivion had almost 100 present.

The student body was as culpable as the administration. The effect this fight had on me still remains several years later. Not pleasant.
