Struggling With Major

<p>First the question posed as to bias in the classroom is a valid one, one which I have asked my Mid about during Plebe year and the Poly Sci class that is required. Given that most of it is hearsay on my part, I will not post but would ask that if there are any Mids lurking around maybe they can some shed light.</p>

<p>As for not a shred of evidence

  • maybe not evidence that one wants to share on a public forum but I can say with a fact mine has been called a “******* Communist” while in class and the Professor came to my sons aide. He called home right after class horrified at the lack of respect offered by another shipmate. He came from a high school that did not tolerate disrespectful comments, looks or actions in class. To have this happen his first week of “college” left him a bit disappointed to say the least. This was verified with the Professor that we happened to get to meet on a Friday afternoon while visiting my Mid that fall. Luckily he has very thick skin.</p>

<p>Please any Mids out there please let us know what you think is happening “politically” in the classroom. Especially if you see it more in any specific major. If it is like most major Universities (that offer Engineering) where the engineering faculty is more towards conservative and the humanities more liberal.</p>
