Had a professor like this in college. He was openly Marxist yet adiment about students not including their politics in essays. This was just him stating he doesn't wish to have his world view challenged and projecting that onto us.

Ah yeah. I've read about this one before. Although a taboo result will get increased scrutiny, it does seem to have lots of genuine methodological problems. For instance, not isolating the effects of the same-sex relationship from things like single parenthood.

>The study was met with considerable criticism from many academics[1][4] and scholarly organizations.[5][6] Most notably, only 2 children in the study had actually lived with homosexually partnered parents for their entire childhoods. Many of the non-heterosexual parents were in previous heterosexual marriages, and had then gone on to be in a same-sex relationship at some point. Regnerus removed the effects of divorce, infidelity, single parenthood from his heterosexual 'control' group, but not from the gay parent group.

>"All he found is that family instability is bad for children and that's hardly groundbreaking or new," Gates, who was not involved in the research, told LiveScience.
>In a commentary in Slate, William Saletan writes, "What the study shows, then, is that kids from broken homes headed by gay people develop the same problems as kids from broken homes headed by straight people. But that finding isn't meaningless. It tells us something important: We need fewer broken homes among gays, just as we do among straights. We need to study Regnerus' sample and fix the mistakes we made 20 or 40 years ago."

With that said, in disregarding what it says you should not become arrogant. A young person such as yourself has untold growth waiting you if you work for it. As you are now, you will later call yourself a fool. But don't go thinking that it's pointless and grow resentful. If this man had any care for your development and education, he would have chided your arrogance in a manner that led to realising it yourself without his saying it. As it stands, this letter reveals his own pathetic nature, which has define itself in superiority to the young, as though that were something to be proud of.

And this?” He continued to battle any young man who reminded him of his younger self. When one student wowed his classmates with a voicy, ironic short story, he took him outside the classroom and told him he had “never witnessed a collective dick-sucking like that before.” Wallace promised to prevent the “erection of an ego-machine” and strafed the student with criticism for the rest of the semester.
