Professor Recorded in Anti-Trump Rant Gets Faculty of the Year Award

Orange Coast College has given its top award for instructors this year to Olga Perez-Stable Cox, the professor caught on camera calling Donald Trump’s election “an act of terrorism” during her human sexuality course in December.

Faculty at the college vote to give the award each year, and the recipient normally gives a speech at commencement. But according to the Orange Coast Register, Cox has accepted the honor but declined to speak; a spokesman from the faculty union said she made the decision because “she did not want to distract from students.”

After the video went viral and was featured on Fox News, Orange Coast College took no action against Cox. But administrators soon moved to punish Caleb O’Neil, the 19-year-old student behind the recording. In February, the college suspended him through Fall 2017, saying he’d have to write an apology letter to Cox if he wanted to return. O’Neil and his lawyer appealed, threatening a lawsuit, and trustees reversed their decision a week later.

Over the weekend, the Orange County College Republicans said they were disappointed that faculty had given Cox the top honor, saying her comments were polarizing. “This move on her part and the part of the college only serves to resurrect past tensions against both her and the College Republicans,” the group’s president told the Orange Coast Register.

This semester, Orange Coast College has sought to prevent other such recordings. Administrators posted warning signs on campus, saying that unauthorized in-class recordings were prohibited by college policy and state law. The president of the professor’s union also warned that O’Neil “may be facing legal action,” calling his recording of Cox “Gestapo tactics.”

What kind of college gives a human sexuality professor a Teacher of the Year Award? It’s at best a very minor filler course. After all, it’s something you’re programmed to learn on your own—you don’t need some freak telling you how or what to screw.

Another reason not to send your precious little kiddies to these places of “higher education”.

Idiot-cretin award is more appropriate. It is criminal that she draws a salary.

The fact that the other faculty would give her this award, especially after her highly politicized actions, tells us all we need to know about the leftist views of the other faculty at that college.

Students are required to spend time and money to take a specified number of “general education” courses. So many of these are “studies” courses that students would not otherwise take. They are nothing more than leftist indoctrination classes that teach lies about America and Christianity.

And this example perfectly illustrates why there will be NO unifying of the Patriots and the Traitors. One side will win. The other will be purged. Pray the right side wins!

So many of us are disabled, Strac. We love our country, know what it was meant to be, and how it should be run.

We will be the “prayer warriors”, asking for blessing for those who are physically able to fight for their country’s restoration.

Disables. I’m 73 with a pacemaker and a low grade lymphoma, and I’m still ready.
