Williams: Answers from a Perfect Sociology Test

Nothing is new to me on this front. My son once took a government course here at NMSU. A good portion of the course included writing an opinion on selected questions presented by the professor. This was one of the questions: "Should the Bush administration abandon it's policy of preemptive aggression and unilateral military intervention in Iraq or seek international support from member states of the UN?" - The question itself was insulting and categorically totally incorrect from the standpoint that a coalition of more than 20 other nations JOINED us in removing Saddam from power. I thought it would be equally appropriate for my son to ask the professor, in class, if he still beats his wife and INSIST that he answer either, "YES" or "NO" and make light of his answer and draw comparisons. My son said he was afraid to say anything that would run contrary to his college professor's political views for fear of receiving a reduced grade. In college government and sociology classes most college professors could care less about teaching students how to apply critical thinking in analyzing reality.
