Honestly, this is something that happens all the time, although it should not. It is a blatant abuse of power and authority over impressionable minds. Unfortunately, you almost have to go to college to be successful in life (no, I don't need any stories of your success w/o a degree...I have my own) and those "higher learning facilities" tend to be very liberal in their ideals as well as those professors that inhabit the classrooms. I'm not saying that is wrong because I disagree with it, but it is wrong to break impartiality in that arena. It is what it is, although unfortunate.
