My ass would have just lied. Your professor is just bullshitting. Is she even in college? It was AP gov, right? I wouldn't want to justify myself to a singlular unreceptive person who will have to forget my name to make room for the 300 new students they get next year. I have always been keen to pick my battles. School, and this goes quintuple for high school, seems like the place where you regurgitate information in exchange for an accreditation. You can learn critical thinking and research skills, sure, but they seem incidental to the process. A punk rock leftist gets the same diploma as a straight-laced, quiet immigrant.
I would have just dismissed the issue as my friend playing up my support for single payer healthcare, kept my nose down, and avoided direct eye contact for the semester. I'm not Mr. Congeniality, I wouldn't be here posting if I was. So take it with a grain of salt.
