In the leftist magazine "The Nation", Russel Jacoby insults those of us who believes that professors should stick to their subject instead of indoctorinating us with leftist propaganda.
It reminds me of Tobin Jones.

Since I forgot to save my letter to The Nation, but it goes something like this.
I am a recent graduate of the University of Hawaii-Manoa, and while some professors are able to stick to the topic and present various viewpoints, some go over the line.
Some are more concerned with counter-balancing Fox News than teaching their assigned topics. Nevermind that most students at my university are too busy studying and working part-time jobs to vigorously watch any news-stations, much less be devoted to Fox News. This makes those students vulnerable to one-sided rants from professors.
In my Poetry & Drama class, the professor wasted class time with rants of hatred towards President Bush. How would Russell Jacoby feel if (for example) a biology professor wasted class time insulting John Kerry? Hmmm? Hmmm? Hmmm?
All we ask is that professors stick to their subject and respect various viewpoints. How hard can that be, Russell Jacoby?
