And conspicuously absent from your tirade is any mention of "truth", "right", or "wrong". When a professor is forcing blatantly untruthful garbage upon students, why should he be able to punish those that refuse his lies? The fact is, people like Larry Summers get fired immediately for challenging the PC establishment. People like Ward Churchill get tenure, and might reluctantly get fired after three years of publicly bringing controversey on himself and decades of pushing lies on his students.
Of course you probably fail to see the difference. College should be about learning, not about pleasing professors. Learning facts, building a knowledge base, and learning how to deconstruct an argument; not regurgitating some self-important egotist's truthisms.
And an institution should not profess to be about the free exploration of ideas if some ideas are off limits.
