I agree that it will cause a seriously bad atmosphere in the classroom if students are taping their professors.
On the other hand, a lot of professors have misbehaved so seriously that it's understandable that it's coming to something like this.
Susan Ostrich says, "Professors who can't keep their politics out of the classroom need to be addressed by the administration." Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. In nine cases out of ten, its weak or leftist administrators who are responsible for the mess most of our academic departments have gotten into. Expecting them to clean it up is like expecting Satan to straighten out the problems of war and hunger.
I don't know what to suggest, except that political pressure is needed, from legislatures, alumni, and parents, and probably students as well, before these moonbat professors will change their ways. I wouldn't go into the teaching profession today for precisely these reasons. It's no longer a matter of just getting in there and teaching the truth, as best you can. It's a matter of battling political forces in every direction.
BS. Those colleges are paid by students and tax payers.
And the administrators will be sure to look into the allegations as soon as they are done revising the latest campus speech rules that deem conservative ideas to be hate speech.
I disagree. Maybe the profs will stay on the subject.
I don't really understand. I taped my lectures during most of college, because I had a severe tendonitis problem, and couldn't take notes. I never had to get "permission".
