During Tough Economic Times, You Can Still Be an Entrepreneur!
In these tough economic times, you will either sink or swim. Despite the dismal economic news, some people are looking at this period in American history as an excellent opportunity to be creative and let their entrepreneurial side shine through. And one of those people is Christopher Fallon.
If You are Passionate About Something, Take Action!
A 25 year-old full-time student aspiring to graduate with a degree in Economics, Fallon was struggling to see eye-to-eye with a few of his professors when it came to politics. As most people are aware, many college professors are of the liberal persuasion but will usually demonstrate some restraint when it comes to incorporating their political agendas into the teaching arena. However, when it came time to write papers about certain political issues, Fallon (a young conservative) was surprised to receive back failing grades on his a few of his papers. The premise? The professor simply didn’t agree with his politics.
Instead of getting angry, Fallon decided that enough was enough and came up with an idea for a website in which other students could contribute information and exchange ideas about politics and the role it plays in universities and colleges around the country. Thus, liberal-education.com was formed. Determined to get the site up and running but knowing absolutely nothing about web site design or HTML and programming, Fallon sat down at a computer,looked up ‘How To’s’ for everything and in essence, taught himself the majority of what he needed to know. Within a matter of days, he had his domain name and landing page. He would spend the next three or four days of his academic Fall Break improving his website, creating a blog and contacting various colleges, universities and other bloggers. And now, less than a week later, he’s already gotten a lot of positive feedback and guest blogs. He has even been contacted by the prestigious Friedman Foundation regarding his site and possible collaboration in the future.
You Can Do it Too!
All of this just goes to show you, if you are passionate about something and have a great idea for something that is unique, you can turn it into something great. You don’t have to slow down with the economy. Instead, pick up the pace and let your creativity and entrepreneur side shine through. You might surprise yourself!

This is indeed an inspirational story! And I admire Christopher Fallon’s smart answer to what has happened.
I don’t know how I would have reacted, but failing a student for having different views seems in complete contradiction with how we see colleges and universities: places that harbor free-thinking, the right to an opinion and the right to sustain that opinion (among others).
I totally agree, Alina. It’s sad to think that professors would penalize students for their opinions!
