I'm a Poli Sci major, and I have yet to have a poli sci professor push his agenda on to me at this school. Years ago this was not the case, almost all of my professors would try to shape you into a miniature version of him/her.

I've spent a good deal of my adult life surrounded by politics, and through this course of time, I've learned to keep my mouth shut unless I'm in a dark smoke filled room cutting deals.

This semester I have a class that encourages open discussion on policy. The prof. doesn't push his agenda at all. I still find that there are a ton of young students that still haven't figured it out, but hey, they're young.

It's no secret that if you challenge the prof. you don't get good grades. You just hadn't learned that at the time, but it does sound like you learned that lesson, albeit too late.

I am, however, all for others speaking their mind, it lets me know what their weaknesses are. I'm also kind of baffled as to why they teach how government is supposed to operate. Maybe that's all they know though. They've had their noses in the book so long, and have no real experience with the applications they profess and how it doesn't apply.
