So professors who are supposed to support the idea of critical thinking, laud the fact that a student is not interested in even hearing an alternative point of view and is not properly(and don't they always scream about 'sheeple') 'vetting'
each candidate out on the issues? Professor, apparently you are so impressed with yourself that you've forgotten the very heart of learning and that is curiousity, but you think it is terrific that your students have left their natural curiousity at home(unless it is drugs or other co-eds). Pitiful!
BTW, I guess the little matter of his brilliant student voting for Obama had to come in for writing help was lost on him too. Not to knock those who need the help, but really...are we supposed to be reverent to this or does it only reinforce the notion that either college kids have learned to lie to their self-centered professors to not have to interact with them so much and to get good grades AND/OR college students are not yet far enough out of the entitlement of mom and dad's house or the pell grant to understand the pipe dream the Obamessiah is trying to sell them.
I hate to tell professor Zealot, but usually the same college student that doesn't care, won't care to get his lazy ass out of bed to a voting booth either in November. That's why their votes never quite send the liberal over the edge in most cases. Your dealing with youthful complacency still.
