[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Give me a break. For every one professor pushing conservative views, there are probably hundreds of leftists pushing theirs.[/quote]

Academic and department chair here.  I'd be concerned if the materials being taught showed some form of partisan bias -- if, for example, the guy was assigning Breitbart or something in place of peer-reviewed academic journals, reputable textbooks, and books from academic presses.  THis is the only thing that might conceivably be addressed by a higher up.  But the general sort of remarks?  Frankly, if you're in an MBA program, I"d be asking you why YOU're not raising your hand and disagreeing with the professor if you disagree with him.  I'd expect you to do that with a professor on the left or on the right.  That's what grad students do.  You're an adult.  It sounds a bit strange that you're concerned about "the teacher" and that you're looking for a principal or someone to report this too.  Are you sure you're actually the grad student and not the student's mother?  This sounds like someone who helicoptered through their child's high school and college and now wants to helicopter through grad school with Junior.[/quote]
