Me: Something about race.
Prof: Uh, that's not relevant right now.
Me: Race is always relevant, especially when a movement calling itself radical is clearly for White, heterosexual, middle-class women.
[silence]
Prof: Anyways...

Professors don't like it when you're more right than they are.

Also, he's trying to make things simple and you're trying to make them accurate. They're not so keen on that, either.

She.

Way to make assumptions!

I'm glad you stuck to your point. What a pity your teacher wouldn't give it more credence. I would have thought it's a very interesting qualifier.

[naturalog]

It is.

That's why I was so confused.

wow, and where did this university professor come up with the brilliant idea of disregarding a student? that's a great way to foster learning and discussion, isn't it? blech.

[naturalog]

indeed.

It's an interesting class for the most part, even though it's a lot of lecturing about the readings we've already done and not much discussion.

[peaceofpie]

so what is the interesting part?

[naturalog]

Well, the readings are. And the discussions are interesting.
