Whatever happened to going to college just to get an education?
Professor Gives Math Students Democrat Loyalty Pledge

Associate Professor Sharon Sweet allegedly gave her class of community college math students a test of a most unusual kind: a pledge to vote for Barack Obama and the Democrats this November.
Early last week Professor Sharon Sweet at Brevard Community College (BCC) allegedly told students to sign a pledge that reads: “I pledge to vote for President Obama and Democrats up and down the ticket.”
It is no secret that around 90% of college professors in the more political disciplines vote Democrat. So if a prof is caught administering a Democrat loyalty oath to students, one would think it would be in Indigenous Multi-culturalism of the Ferghana River Valley or some such class, not number-figgerin’.
But one has to admire the professor’s attempts at transparency. Codifying one’s political allegiance at the beginning of a class alleviates some ambiguity and confusion a conservative might feel if he were tempted to speak out in class or share his thoughts on the upcoming election.
In a way, this liberal professor was doing her class a favor. Honestly, one should admire her for being forthright with her students, instead of pretending to be impartial.
