<p>Several years ago, I had a good friend who was very conservative and who was majoring in political science. She was the only person in most of her classes who was conservative and the professors always called on her to hear her views. They really appreciated having her in their classes and she got along very well with the other students. I think it really adds to the experience of all students to have all points of view expressed.</p>
<p>When I was growing up my mother always told me never to write anything down that I wouldn't want published on the front page of the newspaper. I've passed along her advice to my children and hopefully they will listen.</p>
