Even the teachers inject their political (meaning liberal) opinions into class time. Uni may be tolerant in some ways, but it is certainly not tolerant of the republican party as a whole (not just conservatives). Republican students have been threatened, belittled, and brushed off as lesser people with unimportant opinions. It is perplexing to me that we are treated so badly when so many democrats at our school don't even watch the news.
We don't "feel" like we're being attacked. We are being attacked. We've had propaganda about President Bush shoved down our throats for years; we've had propaganda about McCain for the last year and a half; and when the next election comes around, it will all start again. We shouldn't have to ask for respect. However, some of us have had to literally beg people to stop treating us so badly.
Haven't you ever noticed that the republicans at this school don't say bad things about liberals, only try to defend ourselves with solid facts?
The treatment of Republicans at Uni is just wrong.
Being "more accepting" isn't enough. At the culture fair, are you trying to be "more accepting" of certain cultures, ethnicities, races that you previously discriminated against? No, it is a given at Uni that you believe those cultures and ethnicities and races are equal to yours already, you're just displaying information for people to understand the culture better. The same philosophy holds true for politics. We should already be your equals.
