So, back to taking political science. Granted, I knew what I was getting myself into so nothing came as a shock. Most colleges of today are cesspools of corrupt ways of thinking, so I took a deep breath before I dove in to this one. While I did brace myself, I was still disgusted with what I heard and was supposed to be taught, since it was supposed to be taken as truth.
I had a professor who was incredibly biased, progressive, and also vulgar. My other classmates were amused, but I was repulsed. Not because I’m some hoity-toity person, but because I believe college professors should be held to a higher standard of decorum and class, since we’re tackling higher education here. This instructor used their platform as a professor to push and rant about their personal ideas about moral, social, and political issues, as if they were facts or absolute truths. He was extremely critical of the Church, especially priests. I fully realize and recognize that many have anti-Catholic sentiments, so it wasn’t a surprise, but rather a sorrowful reawakening to see it with my own eyes and hear it for myself. Honestly readers, at one point I started tearing up because it cut me so deep that people truly believe ugly lies and misconceptions about Christ’s Church and have the audacity to continue spreading them.
But guess what, guys?! The Church, especially priests in their dastardly black dresses, hate women and want to take us back to the dark ages!
That’s seriously all these people got, aside from declaring that the Church has an “immoral” and “irresponsible” view on contraception.
Really, that’s what they’ve got.

Like I said earlier, I was expecting the class to be very biased, so the things I heard didn’t come as surprises. I heard that unborn babies aren’t made up of flesh, blood or bone; they’re just “material” and “matter”. But aren’t all of us outside of the womb, also made up of matter?
It didn’t end there, folks. Planned Parenthood is a wonderful organization that “wasn’t” breaking the law, because the videos were highly edited and proven to be fake. Can you spot the lie? In reality the videos were shown to have very little editing, for the sake of compiling footage, and the scandal was never refuted by anyone, especially not by the culprits themselves. I vocally challenged him once on abortion, and someone ended up backtracking their statements; it wasn’t me.
Moving along, I was also informed that homosexual acts are totally okay because animals have been known to do it, too. To that incredibly poor (and lame) use of logic, I thought; so you’re reducing actual people to animals? Animals who only go by blind instinct, versus people who have intellects and souls? Or according to you do people no longer possess souls either, professor?
Aside from the near constant eye-rolling and wanting my bang my head on my desk until the pain stopped, I did get a few laughs. For example; Bernie Sanders is a lovely and relatable guy, has great ideas, and should be our next president!

But sadly, they were serious.

But enough about the frizzy demagogue. In the end I learned very little from that class. Sure I learned a bit more about politics, but in reality my professor taught me nothing. It was disconcerting because professors like that offer nothing to the political sphere and do true political science a greatly serious injustice.
