[Teaching_Composition] Ideology

[Deanya Lattimore]

Chris, I have to laugh a bit here, since it makes me think of something 
that I realized a couple of months ago.

Ask which of the two parties supports teachers' rights, benefits, and 
agendas in Congress.  Then ask why so many teachers in higher ed are 
democrats.

No one seems to have any issues with the idea that tobacco farmers are 
probably overwhelmingly republican, LOL.

Sorry to digress, but it's Sunday night -- that's my only excuse.

:-D.

ps. I agree with your other points too.
