I've found this sort of attitude common in any class with "Studies" in the name.
My worst experience was the communist teacher of East Asian studies (not himself East Asian) who knew nothing of Asia besides Communist China and spent most of the course on propaganda. This was 2006.
The professor took to blatantly ignoring any student with a comment or question after a single questioning word about Communism.
The world is indeed full of insane people.
All such stories of academic delirium I've heard so far took place in the US. Indeed, while all of today's nations produce their share of bogus pseudoscience in the soft fields, Americans shouldn't despair so much; their academia appears to be in an uniquely bad situation here.
