Yeah, I had her too and she's AMAZING - I love her and wish there were more Professors like her in the Soc Dept. who quite frankly offer real-life, relevant discussions versus telling the same old stories numerous times and in general not caring what students have to say (UNlike someone else I know, ahem :).
It is upsetting but I think you're destined as a Soc major, you have a lot of innovative ideas to share and dropping out would definitely be a huge loss to the environment of Soc. classes - but you should do whatever's right for you and if you are passionate about another major or this one really doesn't feel like a good fit, then moving on may be best.
I wrote a letter for that Professor's tenure file explicitly stating that she should be judged on the basis of her performance as a Professor and not based on her political beliefs... among other things -- you could write one too, I know she'd appreciate it. Or even write a letter to The Ithacan/talk to Buzzsaw... or maybe I could do a story about it for iMPrint... or you could write a letter to the Dept....
She is a great professor and without her the Soc. Dept. would be severely lacking. It's in their best interest to give her tenure! Students love her. If only those denying her could see past their discrimination and intolerance for new ideas and see the TRUTH.
I joined your facebook group :) We should talk more about this sometime, perhaps in person?! :)
