Professor’s Anti-Republican Classroom Tirade Caught on Video: ‘They Are a Bunch of

A new video uploaded to YouTube on Tuesday shows a professor at a public university slamming Republicans as old, white individuals who want to keep black people from voting.

The eight minute video, released by college news outlet Campus Reform, reveals Michigan State University Professor of Creative Writing William Penn opening the first day of class with an anti-Republican rant.

“If you go to the Republican convention in Florida, you see all of the old Republicans with the dead skin cells washing off them,” said Penn. “They are cheap. They don’t want to pay taxes because they have already raped this country and gotten everything out of it they possibly could.”

“They don’t want to pay of your tuition because, who are you? Well to me you are somebody,” he continued.

Penn then appeared to accuse the Republican party of backing voter identification laws as a plan for “getting black people not to vote.”

“This country still is full of closet racists,” he said. “What do you think is going on in South Carolina and North Carolina. Voter suppression. Its about getting black people not to vote. Why? Because black people tend to vote Democratic.”

Of course this fruitcake professor is feeding at the public trough. He teaches at a taxpayer supported state university (Michigan)

He would last two minutes in the private sector at a real world productive job

How stupid do parents have to be to spend thousands of dollars they could use in their retirement so that their kids can listen to a Communist rant in “Creative Writing” class!

Not only should this clown be fired for not teaching the subject he was hired to do, but the person who hired him should also be fired.

Isn’t this a pattern for him? I think he has been in this path before.

Strip the public funding and I think parents will care a lot more.

A review from one of Penn's students from MSU's Koofer site:

"He is horrible. The class is unbelievably unorganized. At the beginning of the semester he told everyone not to take notes because there wouldn't be an exam. He then gave an exam that was so difficult that the curve was 50%. He is creepy and misogynistic. Picks on the attractive girls in classes. Penn presents a facade of being liberal minded and claims to love women, homosexuals and people of all race, but then progresses and perpetuates detrimental stereotypes about all three. He claims to love gay men because they "dress well and appreciate art." He refers to women as "puntas" and cougars."

Scratch a liberal, reveal a little fascist hypocrite.

Funny to note that ALL of his objections about Republicans were PERSONAL ATTACKS.

He never ONCE mentions policy. Not once.

it’s “Hate Republicans BECAUSE they’re ‘Republican’. They’re just baaaaaaad people...”

“His students thoroughly despise this prick:”............

Then why are these students taking his stupid classes?
Seems to me there are other “elective” classes available.

Can writing only be creative it is liberal. Here is a link to an outline of an English composition course at Buffalo College. (http://i.imgur.com/FdHCESx.jpg) It almost makes you wonder if there is a course somewhere that requires you to get zotted on Free Republic to get an A.

Not only is it blazingly apparent this ‘professor’ isn’t fit to teach his subject, he clearly isn’t capable of hunting ‘closet racists’ — unless he hasn’t looked in a mirror.

MSU is actually fairly conservative as major universities go. Lots of farm kids go there to learn the latest agricultural technologies and sciences.

Send your kid to a state college, so they can be turned into little America-hating commie rat bastards at the taxpayers’ expense.

It is difficult to believe that parasites like this so-called “professor” actually are hired and get paid. He should be reported for child abuse. What a commie tool!

They teach this crap at 99% of American Universities, MSU is no exception, they have black studies, feminist studies, and Howard Zinn type courses as well.

The business school at UM is still predominantly conservative btw. The rest is simply totalitarian leftist like the rest of our Universities are.

Heck, you'd be shocked at what they teach at Hope and Calvin.
