Professor Recorded in Anti-Trump Rant Gets Faculty of the Year Award

Orange Coast College has given its top award for instructors this year to Olga Perez-Stable Cox, the professor caught on camera calling Donald Trump’s election “an act of terrorism” during her human sexuality course in December.

Faculty at the college vote to give the award each year, and the recipient normally gives a speech at commencement. But according to the Orange Coast Register, Cox has accepted the honor but declined to speak; a spokesman from the faculty union said she made the decision because “she did not want to distract from students.”

After the video went viral and was featured on Fox News, Orange Coast College took no action against Cox. But administrators soon moved to punish Caleb O’Neil, the 19-year-old student behind the recording. In February, the college suspended him through Fall 2017, saying he’d have to write an apology letter to Cox if he wanted to return. O’Neil and his lawyer appealed, threatening a lawsuit, and trustees reversed their decision a week later.

Over the weekend, the Orange County College Republicans said they were disappointed that faculty had given Cox the top honor, saying her comments were polarizing. “This move on her part and the part of the college only serves to resurrect past tensions against both her and the College Republicans,” the group’s president told the Orange Coast Register.

This semester, Orange Coast College has sought to prevent other such recordings. Administrators posted warning signs on campus, saying that unauthorized in-class recordings were prohibited by college policy and state law. The president of the professor’s union also warned that O’Neil “may be facing legal action,” calling his recording of Cox “Gestapo tactics.”

"the Orange County College Republicans said they were disappointed"

Why aren't they burning the place to the ground?

"Why aren't they burning the place to the ground?"

Good question. No one is ever afraid of right wing rioters (other than made up ones) while the left is free to burn and riot all over the place while the police stay back and give them room to run wild.

For the violence and intolerance suggested by this teacher, if one can collar that, and the obvious support of the faculty and administration, The school should be put up for a valuation of its accreditation and should lose federal funding fee for the bias they promote. Further, if they’re like where is a sanctuary campus, that should be an extra nail in the coffin for them to lose federal funding.

Let me guess, I guess that they are not big fans of Julian Assange on those grounds, eh?

...she's not alone...("We tried to warn you about Russia. No one listened. Clinton campaign aide Jennifer Palmieri on how the Democrats can make the scandal stick now.")

The unprecedented war on Donald Trump will not last much longer when people realize they are being used as pawns in a struggle for Socialism/Communism - Capitalism v. Socialism by political entities who want want to continue their power over the people...think Obamacare and all the other community organizing tricks and rewritten history used by Democrats over the years...study Hillary and Evita...you will find twins.

President Trump understands all this and is trying to right our ship called America, stand with this President, show we deserve him...God Bless America.

Sounds like something that escaped a biowarfare lab on X-Files.

I think it’s time technology phases out these academia leftist professors. Video instruction/classes could be used for 80% of what these people do. And it’s already happening. We no longer need politically biased humans teaching an entire room full of people. It seems very old school to me.
