Thursday Quick Fix 6 (10/28/04)

Let's start the day by handing out a double serving of Sweet Potatoes -- to NIConservative students. They challenged instructor Sharla Chittick for handing out extra credit to students who viewed Michael Moore-Is-Less' (pictured) schlockumentary "Farenheit 9/11." Quoth student Lorie Heinrichs (in the S-R): "there are other options, but none of the other options are politically biased and this one is politically biased." Sounds like Chittick is a good teacher overall who tries to keep her liberal leanings in check. Not much of a foul here. But it's nice to see that today's college students aren't rolling over when they're hit with tripe from left leaning academia.
