[QUOTE="JoeUSooner, post: 4165876, member: 55109"] By the time I got to OU on the GI Bill (fall '73 - transfer from Oregon), the professors were already hellishly and radically liberal. My first English prof was a long-haired hippy freak in torn jeans and berkenstock sandals. He insisted that Eldridge Cleaver ("Black activist" imprisoned for multiple rape and murder counts) was just a terrific guy, to be admired! I had to admit that Cleaver was intelligent, and he was highly observant of human nature... but his book "Soul on Ice" was one long, ridiculous, and truly-racist(!) tirade. Other than its one (1) original idea - the concept of a "supermasculine menial" - the book was trash. Virtually unreadable. My "argumentative" attitude with that egotistical prof dropped my grade from A to B (which played hell with my otherwise 4.0 GPA). Took me a year of complaining to get the dean to even review my class papers... but surprisingly, he finally repaired the grade. Guess he got tired of the "squeaky wheel." :laugh6: [/QUOTE]
