"Coming out" in a Feminist Classroom
Campbell, Ethan
Academic Questions, v20 n4 p307-310 Dec 2007
Ideological differences in a writing class evoke the passion of political sensitivities. A graduate student tells of "coming out" as a pro-life advocate in an essay before his feminist classmates and professor. The exchange created instant and irreconcilable enemies, but he also found some unexpected support from a hesitant voice within that classroom.
