I was... a difficult student.

They did not like that not only had I read the source material, I read it better than they did.

One yelled “WELL THAT WASN’T WHAT THE ORIGAL DOCUMENTS SAID!” Then was unable to name any documents that agreed with him (I never learned Greek, but had a few Latin dictionaries to work with).

Now? I would have ended up in jail for hate crimes.

Excellent. Same here. I had one prof who tried to give me a bad grade on a paper whose topic she didn't like for political reasons, claiming that my points weren't properly referenced. I sat in her office and went through the references with her one by one. Walked out with an A-, but was still PO'd. Should have been an A.
