There’s always going to be a few teachers that feel the need to exercise that kind of power over their student or foist viewpoints on them. It’s a shame. I also find it odd that the professor would want the student to lower his or her inhibitions. Very odd, and this guy sounds like quite the egotistical jerk.

If anyone gets into having therapy (sees a shrink), be on the alert for such tactics, but on a less obvious scale. This teacher is not alone.

That is a pretty foul story. Glad I majored in a science instead, and avoided taking such “courses”.

Ah, but science courses aren’t necessarily free of this sort of thing. My freshman biology course at a major state university contained a “Philosophy of Science” course that was a required component. It was heavily anti-religion and anti-Catholicism.

You are 100% correct. But, in my experience at least, science and math profs were generally less prone to spout off such nonsense. Especially the math profs.

Interesting you should mention the philosophy of science thing. I had a class called “Civilization and its Discontents” that sounds a little related to what you mention. Later I had one on globalization. Both were run by quasi-anti-religious individuals, the latter also being a communist. So, you suffer through 15 weeks of nonsense and get on with your life. :rolleyes: That which doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. 😃

I was a science major and I’m glad I never had to take any of those “Philosophy of Science” nonsense courses. They’re always taught by people who don’t understand the distinctions between science and philosophy!:tsktsk: Why don’ they just call it Atheism 101and spare us the euphemisms?
