You should try to keep it that way as long as possible since you'll have chosen sides otherwise. I hope your students help our country rediscover the pride of a liberal arts education, the ability to leverage well-developed critical thinking skills, and be of a country that accepts the responsibility of the social compact between citizens, our obligation to the state and our country.

Upper level undergrad and some grad courses in the traditional liberal arts. I'm a liberal arts grad, U of Hawaii '71. Paul, have you ever heard this statement? "College teaches you how to make proper decisions on disputed arguments." Another one I remember: "College teaches you that if you don't know the answer, you know how to get the answer." Learned that my first year from one of my professors. Makes sense to me. Eddie Nowadays, you don't even need the library, although they still come in handy. Can't imagine seeing a member of a beverage-based party at the library. They're busy watchin' the tube. |

Eddie I hope you are still in Hawaii. I'd never move from there if I were lucky enough to live there. Hopefully, we teach our students how to think critically, which is, to me, what you are saying with slightly different words. |

Scott, you need to relax and dial down your sensitivity level. Sit back, read what you like, ignore the rest. Hey Wayne, I am still holding my powder even though Harry, Bonnie, JPS and our new friend still think this is the place for political trolling... So Paul made a thinly veiled reference to the "Tea Party" in an off the cuff remark. No big deal, not everyone has to love the so called tea party movement. I'm sure the comment wasn't directed at you, and I don't consider it a troll either. That's what I mean by dialing down your sensitivity level. |
