there is no getting through to these liberal-ass professors. I will not be returning to Brock University next year.

You don't say anything because all peoples, cultures, and civilizations are all equally valued and special!
Ryder Parker
Well...can you post your project? It sounds cool.
Carter Sanders
It's funny because Virginia schools banned tkamb for racism already
Levi Hall
What a waste. Digital arts is literally a waste of your life. Gives you no qualifications, experience, nor edge on anyone else.
this. you can learn more from YT videos about after effects than you can from a class. and your animated typography was pretty shit too friendo

I know the feel. These liberal professors are only matched in their fanaticism by their stupidity. When they utterly fail to argue any point (as they inevitably will), they will simply resort to force (threats of suspension or failing an assignment).
But bro-tip: don't get mad. You just make yourself look irrational. If anything, you should stay calm and make the libtard professor mad. That's how you win arguments in the eyes of an audience.

Go into the trades, they won't give a damn. Also, saying that one group of people can use the full English language and another cannot denigrates those who cannot into being a lesser class. Equal rights also means a right to use the entirety of language.

I'm going to start using that from now on.
