When did you finish school?  My college roommate went back to school in
Texas and had a teacher who was trying to preach Marxism instead of the
subject and he also had a feminist teacher who seemed intent on blaming
everything on men.  In one class they were so concerned aout
multiculturalism and felt that he was disadvantaged because he grew up
in MN.

He's now in graduate school in ND and he said that he isn't encountering
much of this drivel there.
