I went to a very liberal NE school, they encouraged conservatives to
express their opinion and to disagree with the professors.

But, of course, those opinions had an effect on their grades.

They should. In a decent college, you're not trained to take tests. You're
trained to debate, interact and make decisions.

Their opinions did not have an effect on their grades, their ability to
express their opinions and support that opinion with a viable argument did
effect their grades.

I never received an "A" in an English class until I got to college. In
college, I received straight "A's" in English. The difference? In college,
you submitted your writing typed on a sheet of paper with a three-digit
number on the back. The papers were graded without the grader knowing who
wrote them.

I was a math and science guy, so I was never popular with the touchy-feely
liberal arts crowd.
