OCC student suspended after filming teacher saying Trump's election was 'an act of terrorism'
Orange County Register ^ | 2-14-17 | Roxana Kopetman

An Orange Coast College student who secretly videotaped his instructor making anti-Trump statements was suspended from school and told to write a letter of apology as well as a three-page essay about the incident.

The college suspended Caleb O’Neil for the current semester and the summer term, saying he violated a Coast Community College District policy prohibiting recording someone on district property without that person’s consent.

“It is my hope that this experience will lead you to truly think through your actions and the consequences of those actions when making decisions in the future,” Victoria Lugo, interim dean of students, wrote in a Feb. 9 letter to O’Neil, whose video clips of instructor Olga Perez Stable Cox in December went viral.

William Becker, an attorney representing O’Neil, said the sanctions are excessive and the student’s legal rights have been violated. O’Neil, 19, plans to appeal and can continue to attend classes during that process, Becker said.

“This is an attack by leftists in academia to protect the expressive rights of their radical instructors at the expense of the expressive rights of conservative students on campus,” said Becker, president of Freedom X, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving religious and conservative freedom of expression.

Orange Coast College President Dennis Harkins had previously said his administration would investigate whether Cox’s comments were appropriate and within the context of what she teaches. Whether that has concluded is unclear. College spokesman Doug Bennett said this week that the school could not comment on personnel manners, and he declined to discuss investigations involving students, citing their privacy.

Later in the article, the gay Latina prof admits that, in all 3 of her human sexuality classes, she called Trump a "terrorist" and asked Trump student supporters to stand so that the other students would know who among them are "terrorists." She is paid to teach, not to indoctrinate and go off subject. She should be fined or fired, but instead the school lets her go free and the student is punished. Our colleges are sick with leftists. In any state that is currently controlled with a Republican legislature and a Republican governor, they should REQUIRE that ALL state-funded colleges MUST record ALL lectures and keep them available for at least two weeks. Students could then review the tapes to enhance their learning, but it would also make the profs more accountable and we would get less of this brainwashing. The article includes the original tapes. Look at them and see how this teacher has been indoctrinating students for the past 42 years. And the school is almost certainly not going to do anything against the teacher.

He or his parents should ask for a refund and pull him out.

That student has a lot of nerve. What made him think he could get away with exposing the thuggish indoctrination he was being subjected to? Now he knows better. No matter how evil a liberal is, the normal person is guilty if he exposes a member of the elite.

I’m still waiting for a glimpse into HRC tirade after she lost and would not come out to greet her minions. Someone has to have that.

When did recording classes become illegal, I had friends recording some classes in the mid 80’s, and I know kids at U of chicago did it, because my sister still has her audios of Milton Friedman. Think of the scene in Real Genius when the whole class is finally just recorders.

Students have recorded lectures for decades. It’s not allowed all of a sudden?

In the early 70’s my older brother had a math teacher that made unnecessary comments about the Vietnam war during math class. My brother came home and told my mom who went on the WARPATH. IIRC that math teacher did not last much longer at the high school.

Imagine being paid $160,000 a year to teach sex education with a master’s degree. No wonder that state is going bankrupt.
