Apparently you missed the whole point of college... anonymous February 11 2005, 23:02:43 UTC
Although Hoppe claimed that none of his students had any questions or comments during his lecture, Knight stated that most students never talked to Hoppe or asked questions because of his "unapproachable demeanor."

You lacked the spine to challenge your professor on an intellectual basis before your peers, so instead you ran to Big Brother to go beat up the mean professor who hurt your widdle feewings. Boohoo.

I can see why you are having so much trouble functioning in the real world if you couldn't even make it through college without getting the administration to bully someone so harmless for you.

"At first I was in shock that a professor could discount a student's concern like that," Knight said. "But now I feel like a stronger person for voicing my concern and it makes me proud of who I am."

You are a stronger person for getting a bully to beat up on someone on your behalf? You should be ashamed- not proud- of yourself.

Knight added that he felt Hoppe should go through mediation and sensitivity training so that in the future, he could avoid offending anyone else.

If you think that an institution of higher learning is there to avoid offending people, then you should not have wasted the taxpayers' money by attending it in the first place. Such institutions are there to look at things from different points of view, encourage independent thought and new ideas, and challenge the status quo. They are not a cradle in which to nurture politically correct thought.
