Daily, I become more and more disappointed in my alma mater.
The pride I used to have in saying I was alum of IU is completely gone.

No, I go there because it is important & they need to be aware & think about how this relates to the past, or in my polysci class, how it relates to ideas of governance and constitutionalism.
The other teachers in my dept avoid any discussions about current events out of fear of student responses.
