I will never forget the day a student next to me leaned over and said, “Thank you so much for what you said in class yesterday; I couldn’t agree more.” These are kind, but strange words to conservatives at UAB. In that particular class, we had discussed the topic of government supported women’s health programs like Planned Parenthood. In class I could not help but express my certainty that government sponsored advice for women and family planning is far from the best. Yet, I was embarrassed to consider that I was the only one who thought so—this is what it is like to be a conservative at UAB.
