Michigan legislative action thread
Where’s the video? I would like to see the tirade before I give them TOO much credit.
If he dropped F bombs, insulted gays, blacks, women, etc. during the tirade, they may have determined he went to far in characterizing republicans as his was offensive to their own liberal subjects. In other words, he may have just taken the hatred beyond what level of hatred the administration will tolerate when it comes to political opposition to their position.
Is this idiot the Will Pitt of DU fame?
Apparently I looked at him funny, because he then asked if I would like to leave. I gathered my stuff and I left.
I don't remember if I dropped the class or took the F, I was likely to do either at the time.
I ended up taking the same class from the same professor the next year, and got an A. Dean's List.
Was the SOB suspended with or without pay? If without pay it’s going to bite. If not, it’s nothing more than a paid vacation.
I’m guessing that the ONLY reason this guy got suspended is because someone whose contribution checks have a lot of zeros called the university president and complained. Otherwise, MSU would have rode out the storm claiming that this is an issue of academic freedom.
Paid Vacation = Reward.
This is one of the multiple UN gadflies, aka "Special Rapporteur", who go around the world, telling everyone what they are doing wrong. Dr Anaya has been doing this for Canada's "First Nations" people just recently. Perfect mindset for Prof. Penn to continue his rants, right?
I was in a 300 level management class several years ago. The professor started one of these anti-conservatives diatribes. I simply raised my hand and after about a min of not putting it down, the professor stopped and allowed me a question.
“Professor, I’m confused. I thought this was a class on management and the syllabus says that this week we will be talking about Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. How does your current topic relate to the material on the syllabus?”
First, there was the confused look of “What the hell”? Then the expression went to anger of “How dare you” and then a bit of fear crept in as he realized that I had him dead to rights. Lastly the most pleasing expression of “Oh crap, there is nothing I can say to talk my way out of this.” played across his face.
In the end, he let out a strained sigh and say “Yes, we should get back to the material.” We never had another such episode in the class room. He kind of had it in for me after that but I still managed to pull a B in that class.
How much do you wanna bet he is being paid during this so called suspension? He has tenure so it seems
PAID SUSPENSION???
I am a Michigan State alum and have to say for once, I’m proud of my alma mater.
The ACLU will make sure that this does not stand. Now, if he went on an anti-Democrat rant, the ACLU would be nowhere to be seen.
Is this a first?
How many tenured liberal professors does Michigan State employ?
They should never keep an obnoxious Socialist anti-American professor...
...especially one like this guy who seems to have a negative IQ
Students ought to be able to sue for financial fraud a la bait and switch. They pay for one subject, get suckered into another.
