Democrats are such bullies

Journal Star has an article this morning on the fear of Republican students speaking out in class as their crazy, mouth foaming, democratic teachers might argue with them or lower their grades because they are Republicans. This article is about as biased as you can get, it portrays the Democrats as bullies that push poor little helpless Republican students around. My favorite line of this article is when a student says John Bolton, the US representative to the UN, came to visit and his teacher bad mouthed him the whole time.
The article goes on to say that students are cowed and tend not to speak out because of fear of retaliation. Please, give me a break. I went to a school that was entirely Republican yet some how students and teachers managed to speak out. This article represents the worst kind of journalism, its spins educators and students that aren't with the majority as heroes, spreading the word of a political party that is misunderstood. If you are that aligned with the Republican party you should stand up for your beliefs and if you are not then its time to think about changing your Political Science major to something else.

The day before John Bolton, U.S. Representative to the UN, came to campus last year, then-freshman Randy Woster of Omaha sat in his international relations class with then-Professor Bill Avery. Woster said Avery “bad-mouthed” Bolton for the entire class period.A political science major didn't have "time to learn anything about John Bolton". For gods sake he is the representative to the UN and you didn't have time to learn anything about him? The man was one of the worst representatives we have EVER had in the UN. Not only did he obviously have an vendetta against some key countries in the Middle East, he also constantly spun reports including those on Weapons of Mass Destruction. Your a political science major you couldn't take two seconds to look that up?
“It was very unfair for him to discount everything Bolton has done in his life,” Woster said. “Students didn’t have time to learn anything about John Bolton, so I thought they were filled with bad information.”
