Two problems with your approach Dana (as amazingly capitalist as it is, if you don't like the market, don't spend your money) - 1. At some schools and especially at the higher levels you don't have a choice to not take a core course from a particular professor. 2. Universities have a concept of tenure which means that you opinion doesn't matter. The issue does indeed have two sides and they're not completely mutually exclusive. The thing that the legislation is trying to address is the fact (and this is a fact) that many colleges politik on one and only one side and actively work to supress or drive out any person or group that holds an opposing opinion. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/ Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:228578 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
