A most welcome ping. Thank you.

A most welcome ping. Thank you.

Thought this was about teach being forced to resign.

The student got suspended and he got to write a letter apologizing to the professor. I would write: Dear A—#0le, Stick it. I’m never going to apologize to you liberal scum. Thank you and I’ll transfer to Hillsdale...

[EveningStar]

No such luck.

The Trump supporters in her classes which she subjected to ridicule, should sue her and the college, for First Amendment violations.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Got to sue. It’s the only language they understand.

You’d think being a “human sexuality professor” at a small regional college would be accomplishment enough for one person without needing to use your bully pulpit to harangue a captive audience about presidential politics.  
 
Its not the stupidity of what she said that should give her nightmares, but the vapidity of her career.

he violated a Coast Community College District policy prohibiting recording someone on district property without that person’s consent

Are students allowed to take notes? This is just bizarre. Taking notes, audio recording or video recording should all be allowed in class where the professors impart their great wisdom for later testing. But these little totalitarians don't want to be held accountable for what they choose to say in class.

The students being harassed and not taught anything that they paid a lot of money for can show their support for this teacher. They can take their money and go elsewhere and let them know why.

Horrible. My son’s friends go there. It’s a mostly conservative area, lots of Vietnamese. I heard of this but didn’t know it was OCC.

[FrdmLvr]

What? There are no other community colleges he can transfer to?

A coworker of mine (Vietnamese LEGAL immigrant) recently told me that he left CA for TX after he realized there were more communists in CA than there were in Vietnam.

Cracked me up immensely.

The attention led Cox, 66, an instructor at the school for 42 years, to temporarily leave her home following an onslaught of angry, sometimes threatening mail.

In an interview with the Register last month, Cox said her comments to students – made in all of her three human sexuality classes – were meant to comfort those who were upset about the election of Trump and offer resources should students feel discriminated against.

As a gay Latina, Cox said she was frightened by Trump’s election.

Oh Dear!--Olga had to flee to her safe space after she simply tried to comfort the poor frightened students after the terror attack by President Trump--becoming President.

A rather unstable psychiatric case here presented by this scary sexologist.

God help the future students who will encounter a derby-crowned loose cannon rolling around the classrooms of Orange Coast College.

[The Westerner]

How embarrassing to become famous for being a psychologist who not only appears unbalanced but is proven so by her own words--straight out of the horse's mouth. All that's needed to complete her look is a carrot dangling from her mouth!

[tillacum]

Good for her. She sounds like my Dad.

This happened some time ago. Why didn’t the Register give the date of the OFFENSE? Did it take this long for the college to decide what they were going to do? This took place at least a few weeks after the election but for some strange reason, a date isn’t given anywhere that I can find. I do remember reading the story previously as OCC was very close to where we lived before we bailed out of CA...

From the OC Register - three guesses about the “female” instructor and the first two don’t count:

“”My privacy has been demolished. And that’s awful. I’m a very private person. And it’s very scary,” said Cox, sitting in her living room along with her longtime partner, who asked not to be identified.

The two women left town for about a week last month because, they said, they feared for Cox’s safety following angry emails and threats, including one that displayed her home address. Her last week of classes was canceled. The couple disconnected their home phone. They are considering a safety alarm system.””

Heck - I always thought these “types” were proud of WHAT they are so why the desire not to be identified? Well, I can’t pretend to understand the creatures.

[Thank You Rush]

“”What? There are no other community colleges he can transfer to?””

Sure - three that I can name even tho’ I’ve been gone from there for 11 years - Golden West in Westminster - up the road “a piece” and Saddleback College down the road (405), Irvine Valley down the road (405).....all good Junior colleges..Don’t know where they all stack up academically but after this, why would anyone want to take a chance on OCC?

[Thank You Rush]

That is great and sadly - probably true!!!!
