   They serve the SCHOOL you uppity little motherfucker! LEARN YOUR FUCKING   
   PLACE. There's nothing worse than spoiled brat students who think they   
   know better than the faculty. And now you go bitch about it on the   
   internet and try to get people to hassle her. You don't even deserve an   
   education.   
      
   >(I had to excise parts of her paragraph for various reasons, but I   
   >maintain that the point of her remarks is faithfully perserved.)

   >Her name is Maureen Ruprecht Fadem, and she's an instructor (not quite   
   >"professor", exactly, if I understand my CUNY Human Resources   
   >categories correctly) in the English department at Hunter College.   
   >She's a big-time liberal who, ironically, took the side of a student

   Giving preference to negroes just cause of their skin colour. How   
   racist. If you want to give your opinion do it in a fucking essay but   
   don't talk back to someone who's smarter and more educated than you are.   
   No one's discriminating against you dumbass.   
      
   >So, according to her, that student had a valid point in insisting that   
   >his professor add a black author or two or three to the syllabus of   
   >their American Lit. course...but it's not *my* "function as a student"   
   >to "pick apart" her lecture by pointing out that she's wrong about the   
   >Roman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire being one and the same, and   
   >that she's wrong about Romans simply adopting Greeks divinities by   
   >rechristening them with Roman names upon their Greek conquest....

   >Not to digress (but I'll do it anways), but at least the   
   >"conservatives" are more "honest", more "consistent", WRT their
