Which is worse — pepper spray or ignorance?
SFGate: Token Conservative ^ | 4/14/4 | Debra J. Saunders

My Sunday column is on the Reynoso report on the UC Davis pepper spray incident. You can read the Reynoso report here.

. . .
The Reynoso report confirms some of the CAS findings. A professor offers extra credit to students who attend the Occupy UCD rally and write a report on it. Another professor tells students they are the law. The problem with professors who see it as their job to promote “social justice,” is they’ve forgotten that their job is to educate.

Maybe not a cure but certainly an incentive to learn.

I’ve been in the area when pepper spray was used and by the process of extrapolation I’ve determined that it beats being shot.

That would be Communism.

The problem...is they’ve forgotten that their job is to educate.

Oh, they're "educating" all right. Every type of "professor" is indoctrinating students with the Marxist agenda...even in math classes.

“Oh, they’re “educating” all right. Every type of “professor” is indoctrinating students with the Marxist agenda...even in math classes.”

They most certainly are. One of my nephews (24 years), who has never worked a day in his life, has no drivers license and lives with mommy, finally decided to go to school to become a chef about a year ago. He is taking classes at their local community college.

He has constantly been on facebook posting non-stop in his “free” time for years and years, mostly about party party party (where does he get the money for all the booze, mommy?), and quoting lyrics from really $hitty bands. However, over the last few months he has been posting more and more and more leftist drivel, joining the fry Zimmerman bandwagon, evil banks, yadayadayada. He even talks about how he can “educate” all of his friends with “knowledge”, that I’m sure he acquired from his 5 years to get his GED and infinite life experience.

Coincidence that this new found “knowledge” of all things lefty cause started soon after he started taking classes?

The stupid students were just pawns in moves to further their leftest professors agenda.

Funny how people who have never earned anything are upset that someone has denied them their rightful stuff...

Ignorance and a stuffy nose. I had to get sprayed with OC pepper spray to get qualified to carry the stuff where I work. I gotta say that for a little while there I thought about just ending it all by self decapitation. The crape just that bad.
