English professor grading me very low on my writing that showcases I’m a conservative?

[Anonymous]

My professor is a super liberal. All of my essays have been 100% excluding the ones in which I openly talk about conservative values, or when I disagree with the liberal stance that we have to write about. She writes comments and feedback on everything but those ones. I have written about 15 essays in this class. Do I sound paranoid, or should I bring this to the dean?

"She writes comments and feedback on everything but those ones."

Those ones? You can't pluralize the word one.

That is a junior high school error. I'd circle the offending sentence in red and award a C- for the entire essay.

I vote republican.

Sure. I typed this on my phone with minimal effort.

ihave had this issue too. I had a professor that got mad every time I made fun of Obama. I wrote something about how bad Obama's Cash for Clunkers policy was and the professor did not appreciate it.
Sometimes you have ot just give the professors whet they want. It's called playing the game. The dean might be just as big a moonbat as the professor is. I work in higher ed as a professor and I am a Trump supporter. Most of the thie I feel like there is a target on my back. .

Thanks for the MHO😎

The same happened to one of my kids. She rewrote the same F paper changing the names to favor the socialists and it came back with an A+. It had nothing to do with how it was written, just the content and it was blatant. Now she knows to write to get the grade.

I believe this.

[TrueConfection]

@exitseven We still have that paper.

Have you considered that since they're a professor they're probably right? Or it could be a case of you being right but not effectively putting the logic of your argument across.

[Asker]

The professor is an English major, not a political science or economics major.

If you understand that he is a liberal, then why are you in his face with your conservatism? Don't you understand tailoring your writing for the target audience?

[Asker]

I’m not willing to prostitute my values for a grade. I will write about my actual stance because Americans need to be able to exercise free speech. If we shut up, then we will slowly let them know they can bully us into shutting up. I should be graded on the technical writing rather than my political views.

[Asker]

I feel as if I shouldn’t have to hide myself on these topics we have to write about.

[OlderAndWiser]

What are the odds you can change him? Or get him in trouble with his administration? Are you prepared to accept a lower grade than you deserve just to preserve your "honor?"

[Asker]

I don’t need to change her. I just want to be graded fairly. I am prepared to accept a lower grade. There’s a video of a transgender man, and we have to write about how his speech was inspirational. I’m a Christian. I’m not going to say he’s inspirational.

yup bring it to the dean. Fuck her.
