Here's a good example......

California State University San Marcos (CSUSM) May. 18, 2003

Lecture Bias: Excessive

Comments: The lectures were more biased than you could imagine. The professor states that if a 'straight' woman never has lesbian sex, then she is oppressed by men. And much more. Class forced extreme ideas against any concepts of morals or principles; i.e. teacher displayed graphic images and videos of straight and gay porn. Students were warned, but it was clear that if you were to leave, you would be black-listed. The porn showed full penetration, etc.

Discussion Bias: Excessive

Comments: The most oppressive environment one could imagine. The mere mention of morality was considered not politically correct. There were no alternative views allowed. Only the most extreme liberal views were taught. Even moderate views were attacked with no effort to even explain why the view even exists. Any opposing idea was considered an attack on the professor.

Readings Bias: Excessive

Comments: The required texts were a reader and the book "Feminism Is for Everybody" by bell hooks. The book was so liberal as to call universities 'conservative breeding grounds'. Extremely biased!

General Comments: This course met a requirement for my major, Liberal Studies (elementary education). Although the CSU San Marcos catalog states that "Education depends upon the free expression and exchange of ideas in the search for truth", Professor Garcia completely oppressed via fear and humiliation any moderate or conservative ideas.

OOF :-|

In the dozen or so passages I read the students really laid out the bias.

Agreed. Very sad...

There seems to be a real grass roots movement emerging to fight the bias (campus watch etc...).

Hopefully, many of these profs political agendas will be forced out of the classroom.
