[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In an MBA program, and as you likely know, businesspeople skew conservative. Fine. I’m taking an economics class, and my professor uses every opportunity to denigrate economic controls, government regulations, etc. He’s described Bernie Sanders as sympathetic to assassins and dismissed the Green New Deal as absurd (which it may be), and of AOC he questions the “wisdom and foresight” of a “29-year-old whose previous work experience was bartending.”

I think it’s one thing to foster healthy, fair debate on issues, but he’s so anti-liberal and frankly anti-government it’s becoming difficult to focus on the lessons. Should I talk to him? Talk to administration? Or just leave it alone? [/quote]

I'm sure you've seen your fair share of liberal/leftist professors. What did you do in that case?[/quote]

Believe it or not, the vast majority of liberal-leaning professors don't make blatantly partisan political statements, don't denigrate individual politicians, and don't push radical views about government. It's not germane to the material.

In my experience, most conservatives get triggered by liberal-leaning professors when the class begins the economic or historical analysis of economic and political decisions made by leaders/parties. But, at that point, you're examining historical records and the record is very poor for conservative leaders. Sad.[/quote]
