Speechless. Heavy-handed commie propaganda.
I have a man in my class he makes me nervous....
We had a veteran’s club off campus to unwind. Had snacks and coffee but you had to bring your own beer.
I was 38 years old when I started college, needless to say I had many interesting discussions with liberal instructors. What really upset them was that I could sway the kids in the classes to my side most of the time, I had the time of my life, LOL.
Yeah, those darn veterans. They are stupid, can’t write, have bad grammar, don’t respect authority, can’t carry on a civil conversation. And, they seem as if they are about to pull out a weapon and shoot up the campus.
Am I wrong, or is that “teacher” 18-years-old? What a doofus. This video must be a drama department project. If they played this at a faculty meeting, even the liberals would laugh at it. Well, some of them.
Uh, BTW, doesn’t Penn have admissions testing to see if students can read or write properly?
These elites live in their leftist enclaves and if you dare question them, you have to be watched.
I think I'll forward this to FOX & FRIENDS....they've been running a segment with liberal bias in history books, complete BS.....they don't have a problem showing how the liberal agenda is corrupting history.
If you have the time, do the same, the more the merrier.
Video: Psychotically angry military veterans and the academics who must tolerate them

btt for later viewing
Imagine the MSM uproar if Penn State produced a training film called “How to Deal with Worrisome Homosexuals”.
If they took the word “veteran” out of the video, it would be very realistic. We get one or two threatening nut cases every year. They are seldom veterans. Most often, they are male children of rich parents. They are functionally illiterate and don’t feel a need to show up on time, or at all. I don’t know how they got through high school without the ability to write a complete sentence or perform basic arithmetic.
I regularly get the “but I worked very hard on this and I need a B” line out of students with God awful papers that don’t address the assignment.
“Why is class attendance required? I’m paying your salary.”
“I didn’t feel well. Can I turn this in next week?”
“Is this on the test?”
“I’ll hire an accountant to do this. Why should I learn all of this numbers stuff?”
It is quite common for students to show up in the Dean’s office with a parent and an attorney when they don’t get the grade they want. If they spent ten percent as much time on the assignment as they did on complaining and expecting a B for doing nothing, they would get better grades.
And... Don’t get me started on cheating. That seems to be a given with the majority of students.
Thank God for the ten percent of students who actually learn the material and use it.
I’m not sure what to make of this.
First, there are certainly problem situations where students think they deserve better grades than they get. That’s actually a very common problem. If the kid has been taught through the years that he can do no wrong (modern parenting at work) then he’s going to blame someone or something for his shortcomings (rather than himself). It’s quite common for students to blame their job situations, personal lives, and teachers.
On the other hand, it’s quite possible that teachers do in fact take out liberal biases on their conservative students. This has happened to me and I imagine it’s happened to many people. (It makes news when one of them calls a radio show, for example.) The fact that in this example the student was a veteran is not necessarily relevant, as he doesn’t talk about politics or the war much other than to present the conflict between his views and the teachers. Make no mistake, that alone would get a student a lower grade.
All in all, it’s really the unnecessary portrayal of the student as a veteran that injects politics into it. Maybe they were trying to make it “modern” or whatever but it comes off as being in bad taste.
I have had a similar problem with a prof.
The essay topic was the use of nuclear weapons in WWII. Only students who condemned the bombings got good grades, the ones like me who felt the bombings were acceptable had grammar and composition problems that lowered our grades.
When I mentioned this I was accused of being confrontational (I was, after all, confronting the prof!) and irrational. I got backup from the other irrational crazies in the class, which de-escalated the prof’s attack on me.
There are hints of that in the vid though nothing I can put my finger on.
Time to boot the left-wing elitists off the the university campuses.
This veteran should turn that professor into their local District Attorney (and then the Attorney General).... Get a lawyer!!
I’m speechless about the video and the way they depict the veteran.
My kid isn’t a vet and has given up on playing the walk-on-egg-shells game with some very liberal profs at his school. He’s gone from all A-B to C’s in some classes and just doesn’t give a damn about it anymore. The decline in grade is purely retaliatory for not regurgitating the ideological kool-aid.
Whats does the UNC BB coach have to do with Penn State...? :)
Well, more Hope and Change personified. Demonize the military; characterize them as dangerous and unstable in order to blacken their image. Screw off, PSU. I once thought better of you, but no more.
