I disagreed with one of my Philosophy course instructors vehemently regarding religion and pushing religious views on others.

Due to my inability to "suck it up and shut up" during class, I was frequently at odds with the professor.

Due to that, my papers were graded more and more harshly. At the middle point of the semester, I had a D.

What my shitty professor taught me was that sometimes you just need to regurgitate what the person in power believes just to survive. I quit raising my hand or arguing during class, and I just word vomited his BS during assignments and tests. He smuggly thought he won me over to his views by the end of the course.

I walked with a B at the end of the course. After the final grades were official, the professor wanted me to join an advanced Philosophy course with him.

In some terms or another, I told him that I would not join the additonal course. I also mentioned that I felt that he used his lecturn as a pulpit to push his views on a younger generation. I told him that he didn't have a convert, but he did teach me a lot on what not to be.
