Student says school persecuted him for being conservative
William Felkner, 45, says the New England college and six professors wouldn't approve his final project on welfare reform because he was on the "wrong" side of political issues and countered the school's "progressive" liberal agenda.
Felkner said his problems with his professors began in his first semester, in the fall of 2004, when he objected in an e-mail to one of his professors that the school was showing and promoting Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" on campus. He said he objected because no opposing point of view was presented.
He said Professor James Ryczek wrote to him on Oct. 15, 2004, saying he was proud of his bias and questioning Felkner's ability to "fit with the profession."
"I think the biases and predilections I hold toward how I see the world and how it should be are why I am a social worker. In the words of a colleague, I revel in my biases," he wrote.

Isn't it funny how the most educated group of people in the world- University professors- are overwhelmingly 'liberal'. Makes you think.
Anyway, a 'free market conservative' becoming a social worker is like a hitman becoming a doctor.
It's not gonna work unless he changes his mentality.-

Conservativism derides entitlement programs and as such no conservative should ever be entrusted with them. I don't want a conservative social worker. Let me rephrase that. I don't want an oversensitive overbearing neophyte rightwing nutjob who sues a school to promote his own private welfare research company being my caseworker. I think the person putting idealogy first is the person sueing the school not the school itself.

Liberalism, just like Conservatism are worthless ideologies that do nothing but corrupt the very foundation our country is built on. Democrats and Republicans need to be executed, I dont remember reading about a Party system in The Constitution. They are the spawn of all evil, and the reason why this is even an issue.

"...People choose professions based on things other than rammed-down-your-throat brotherhood progrssive ideology. Neither of you deny the obvious political indoctrination going on, you defend it.
Surprise! The fact that you agree with the indoctrination doesn’t mean it’s legal. I hope students sue the pants off these Liberal-Looney schools every time they are coerced into this nonsense that
jeopardizes all their hard work.Political considerations have no place in academia. We have to root out the pernicious disease in our schools or risk losing the best and the brightest people."

I couldn't have worded it any better than this person. He hits the nail right on the head. -
Like any story on Fox news, I'll take a "false until proven true" stance.
I sense major exaggerations and ridiculousness.

Maybe the dude should've done a better job researching the school. If he did maybe then he would've found out that it wasn't a good fit for him. Where are all the conservatives, that bitch and moan about these types of law suits, when you need them? It would be doubly funny if the ACLU takes his case
