Oh how I understand the discretion policy of political views in professional environments. I sit at the top of the lecture hall and become queasy. I retch at the sarcasm spewing from his lips. I try only to tune in on my notes and disregard his personal views How difficult it is, when the person that irks you the most, is the person that will grade your term paper. How pitiful it is, when a newly found acquaintance is gone after realizing there is no reasoning with him or her. Oh how I now understand the discretion policy.
