Marine Corps Veteran Claims He Was Forced to Drop Out of College Yoga Class for Saying 'Go Trump'
NBC Bay Area ^ | 12/2 | Jodi Hernandez

Marine Corps combat veteran Stefan Meza says he literally put his life on the line to preserve and protect our freedoms.

But after serving three tours of duty in two different wars, the aspiring police officer now believes his own rights were violated at Santa Rosa Junior College over something he said to a friend in class.

Go Trump.

It was those two words Meza said that got a sharp reaction from his yoga teacher who had been taking roll.

"She told me not to make political comments in class and I said 'Yes, ma'am. It won't happen again. My apologies,'" Meza says.

But it did not end there. Meza said after class the teacher took him aside.

"She told me I wasn't able to talk about a man who was a racist mysogynistic and prejudice against others," Meza says.

Meza says he was floored and days later he told the teacher he thought it was unprofessional. The next thing he knew he was being escorted out of class by campus police officers and being summoned to a student conduct hearing.

According to the Notice to Appear, the instructor accused him of disrupting class by shouting out a political comment and then confronted her in an aggressive manner.

The dean sent Meza a letter, noting that his plans to pursue a career in law enforcement could be impacted if he did not agree to drop the class and either withdraw or accept an F.

"To me that's a threatening ultimatum," Meza says.

Meza denies doing anything wrong, but says he felt like he had to agree to the terms of the deal because he's set to start at a police academy. The college would not comment, citing privacy issues.

"I think this is discrimination at its finest," Meza says.

Meza says he has filed a grievance and just as he did in the military, he will continue to fight for freedoms.

“I think this is discrimination at its finest,” Meza says.

At its worst, dude. Not finest.

we need to encourage students in states where it is legal to record any conversation they have with a teacher when there is a possibility that they are dealing with a leftist Waco teacher. it is real easy to do because most smart phones can record so all you do is turn on the recording ap.

I had to take a bioEthics course at Berkeley:

Of course everyone there was liberal as all hell.

There was this one guy who like me was super quiet but tended to score high.

One day the topic of Barbara Walters for some reason was lightly touched on, the guy suddenly piped up, “She’s not the brightest bulb and she can’t even say her own name —she says BABA WAH-WAH..”

Instantly I knew that like me he was a DittoHead and I exploded in laughing recognition.

“She never says that..!” the Prof protested.

I instantly jumped in, admonishing that I’d heard her say it 1,000 times, and our Rush Limbaugh-loving eyes locked for a moment of mutual recognition and respect.

We never talked it out, but later I noticed we were always jumping in and defending one another after that.

He should file a law suit Santa Rosa Junior College and another lawsuit against this crazy b*tch.

He should have told her, “Trump 2016. Because, F-— You!”

Get a lawyer. I have been to Santa Rosa. It’s usually a pretty nice place, but there are a$$ holes everywhere.

A Santa Rosa uber progressive Marxist Junior snowflake county babysitting service and a Lesbo Femanazi Calipornia Yoga Commie?

That Marine was lucky he wasn't beheaded on the spot.

Remain calm. Nod and smile. Drop the class. Get your degree. Become a cop. Hunt them down. Ticket them every time they park their car.

I don’t mean Meza — I meant the yoga instructor.

I looked at the form and noticed you can attach supporting documents — 1GB maximum total size!!

No more having to squeeze all your handwritten complaints into an itty-bitty box or attach an extra sheet of paper. No sirree! You now have 65,000 pages of luxurious space to document every detail of your grievance.
