Reprobate behavior like that of the sodomite professor are the epitomy of Biblical teaching concerning fools:

Psa 53:1 The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity; There is none who does good.

Psa 92:5 O LORD, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep.
Psa 92:6 A senseless man does not know, Nor does a fool understand this.
Psa 92:7 When the wicked spring up like grass, And when all the workers of iniquity flourish, It is that they may be destroyed forever.
Psa 92:8 But You, LORD, are on high forevermore.
Psa 92:9 For behold, Your enemies, O LORD, For behold, Your enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

Prov 10:23 To do evil is like sport to a fool, But a man of understanding has wisdom.

Prov 14:16 A wise man fears and departs from evil, But a fool rages and is self-confident.

Prov 17:12 Let a man meet a bear robbed of her cubs, Rather than a fool in his folly.
Prov 17:13 Whoever rewards evil for good, Evil will not depart from his house.

Prov 23:9 Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, For he will despise the wisdom of your words.

Prov 26:8 Like one who binds a stone in a sling Is he who gives honor to a fool.

Prov 26:11 As a dog returns to his own vomit, So a fool repeats his folly.

Prov 18:6 A fool's lips enter into contention, And his mouth calls for blows. Prov 18:7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul.

Prov 27:3 A stone is heavy and sand is weighty, But a fool's wrath is heavier than both of them.

Mat 7:6 Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

I suggest the Biblical approach to this professor's folly:

Prov 26:3 A whip for the horse, A bridle for the donkey, And a rod for the fool's back.

And Finally:

Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
Rom 1:19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
Rom 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,
Rom 1:21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
Rom 1:22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man; and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
Rom 1:24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,
Rom 1:25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Rom 1:26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
Rom 1:27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
Rom 1:29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,
Rom 1:30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;
Rom 1:32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

You should have filed a sexual harrassment complaint on day one.

Imagine the prof was a hetero male and the writer was female.

This would be front page news. NOW would be holding rallies. There would be a candlelight vigil on campus.

This so-called professor is but one who is ruining the country. Parents and students pay or borrow good, hard earned money to be educated--with "teachers" such as this loon, it amounts to the same investment as say, providing the nigerian embassy with your bank account number so that milliosn can bve transferred. It seems about as sound.

Looking at his C.V., It's pretty obvious that he's not qualified to be teaching Poli. Sci. His highest degree is an M.L.S which I believe is a Masters in Library Science. How he got put in front of a 300 level class is beyond me.

So he spends the whole semester on The Prince which is maybe 150 pages long. He follows this up with the xeroxed rantings of some existentialist lunatic.

I'm familiar with this school of teaching.

To me the worst part of the whole story is that Prof. Vocino is obviously just faking it. For this, the educational system collected tens of thousands of dollars.

And if the libs get their way, these could be the first words out your drill instructor's mouth, or your scoutmaster's mouth.

At least with the scoutmaster, you can flee.

The author really needs to grow a pair and get more on his game.

If he didn't like the way he was treated in class, drop the class. If he wasn't quick witted enough, he should have expanded his knowledge base and quickened his response time.

If a professor asked who I "f*cked" last weekend, I wouldn't hesitate to tell him it was none of his 'f*cking' business.

This column comes across as a protracted whine. We won't score points with spokespeople like this.

“My name is Michael Vocino and I like dick.”

I never understood the mentality of people who do this. Why would I give two hoots what you do with your genitalia?

Would they introduce themselves by saying, "Hi my name is Michael Vocino and I fold the toilet tissue before wiping."?

It just seems so odd that they would think that I would even care.

PS In class discussions of a personal nature I always said, "No comment."

I busted heads for four long years at Vassar College, and I never whined or complained about it like the author of this article.

Anyhow, overall, I probably would have debated some of the issues differently from the student in question, but I was impressed with his tone and the fact that he (mostly) refrained from whining about the siutation.

I think the whole article is a whine.

Imagine for a second that the student in question was one of two black students in class and the professor was making racist comments or ridiculing the two strictly because of their race.

I wonder if the university would need an official complaint to do something about the prof then?

The student should have filed a suit for grand larceny (his tuition being squandered).

The student should've dropped the class or changed professors after the very first class period - or at most the 2nd. He could have also explained to someone in the department why he was doing so.

His entire C.V. is weak. Notice he has only a few refereed articles. He calls them a selection which is no doubt a way of covering up the fact there aren't others. Only a MLS degree and this jerk is a full professor--unbelievable. He's a perverted old fraud the university is probably too timid to deal with. Or maybe he likes to service some in the school's admin office.

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

It is extremely important that you read this article in its entirety. Then, everyone you know who may be thinking of attending a university, sending their child or grandchild to a university should read it.

I can't say a word, the article says enough.

Except this: Do you think this university and this professor are unusual?

Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.

[3] The column in question can be located at http://www.ramcigar.com/media/paper366/news/2005/04/07/Editorialopinion/Common.Sense.The.Right.Mindset-916257.shtml. Professor John

A rather unfortunate name for the student paper's website, given the story.

BTW, with students tape recording lectures in nearly every university classroom, why didn't it occur to this guy to do likewise?

"Do you think this university and this professor are unusual? "

Not in the least.

University's and colleges have become a pulpit for the culture of death.

Why do you students not demand your money back from the courses since they aren't what you signed up for? How is it that these professors, if they can be called that, aren't being slapped with sexual harassment lawsuits? Ok you students got through it, but do you really want these professors treating your younger siblings, or even your children to this type of rubbish? What are you paying for? Surely not to be indoctrinated.
