it was my best guess of what might nor seem to be the usual Berkely belief set. My point, without getting into what *you* are trying to do, is that freedom of speech is messy and sometimes people take advantage of the podium the have, yes. I don't know if you read my tale over in the NSFW branch of this thread? The thing is, as long as the professor thinks he is teaching or with any plausibility can can he is teaching (what was happening in that creative writing class in my opinion) then you do have a first amandment situation. I understand your poijnt about access -- that was certainly the only creative writing class accessible to me at the time -- but nonetheless. Education *is* political. Any woman can tell you that. Anytime you try to remove the politics from it, because you do not agree with the side being taught, you risk the same being done to the side you agree with, and more important, major distortions to the truth.
Some truths are political. And personal. And still true. Dana On 3/2/07, Jerry Barnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > "I understand the problem you are trying to solve.
