“These sick liberal professors...”

The dude is a TA = NO TENURE!

Sheese!

FWIW My father was a tenured college professor and NOT a liberal.

I instructed for 12 years in the Montana University System and Im (happy to be out of there) not a liberal.

I'm sure you and your father were great teachers and yes, a TA graded the paper... but, the professor is quoted further down in the article fully supporting the TA and further educating us on why it's racist to oppose government assistance. Not sure if he's tenured or not but I think you would agree this type of mind poisoning is not unique to this university.

In an email to Campus Reform, course professor Melvin Thomas confirmed some examples of "new white supremacy."

“Yes, opposition to government assistance is linked to white supremacy because its [sic] been largely motivated by the view that minorities--especially, African Americans--are lazy and undeserving,” Thomas said. “You don't want to help lazy people who would rather live off of welfare rather than work. The research supports the link between white supremacist beliefs and this policy position.

“The "Make American Great Again" and "Take Our Country Back" slogans were debated as being racist,” Thomas said of the Trump slogans. “The students overwhelmingly thought it was. One Trump supporter in a video, when pressed, said America was great in the 1950s--not a great time for blacks. I cautioned that you could make a case that it is racist, but it's tough to know what's in people's minds.”

Thomas also added that the information presented in his classes is “based on scientific research--not right or left-wing ‘alternative facts’ or opinions,” and said that Howell’s grade was tied to her answers, not opinions.

“The student lost points because their answers were factually incorrect and not because of their conservative beliefs.”

Howell received a 0 percent grade on the essay assignment. She told Campus Reform that Thomas told her she received 0 percent because she “didn’t do the assignment because [she] didn’t discuss the topic correctly.
