A New Jersey community college is investigating why a professor shouted the F-word at a student in an incident that was caught on camera. The student identifies as politically conservative, and the incident has sparked complaints about the college as a liberal atmosphere where alternative political viewpoints are not tolerated.

During a Sociology 105, Intercultural Communication class Wednesday, Brookdale Community College professor Howard Finkelstein grew angry with his student, Christopher Lyle, shouted "f--- your life," and pounded his hand on a table, according to video obtained by NJ Advance Media.

The key word in all this is “conservative.” Nothing will come of this. The “professor” will not be fired. No apology will be given. There will be no picketing. The college will not be closed for compulsory mind reprogramming.

Well, I guess I’m in trouble now. Just told the SJW snowflakes that “fair” is a four-letter f-word. They’ll probably report me for re-education.

All I can say in response is “Fair-em!”

Prof: “Do you ever think about how that impacts somebody else’s life?”

Student should have said “Yes! It may help them to recognize there are real world consequences to the irresponsible point of view YOU have presented.”

Check out Howard Finkelstein at "Rate My Professor":

http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=825944

- "This professor deserves to be fired. No one deserves to be cursed at or harassed on a daily basis."

- "I see that he's in the news for poor behavior and I'm honestly not surprised. I took his class last year and multiple times he made disparaging remarks towards me after I had admitted in the early weeks of the semester that I leaned conservative in my views. At one point, he called me a supporter of "white supremacy" - I'm PUERTO RICAN! He is crazy "

- "Typical Liberal professor. Yells at and demeans Conservative students in his class. Students don't pay thousands of dollars a semester to be talked down to and have a professor's political views shoved down their throats. The class curriculum was biased too. We had to write a paper on White Privilege. NEVER TAKE HIS CLASS!!

- "This whole class is about the idea of white privilege. All of the papers you write are about white privilege. He makes you write the most confusing papers you have ever seen. Unexciting class, overall I highly do not recommend taking this professor

It is a terrible shame that as a nation and culture we have allowed corrupt leftist influences to take the high ground in our institutions. We have been weakened by our own tolerations subverted by the left.

We have tried to honor “rights” and been subverted by “human rights”. We have tried to see “justice” done and been led astray by a nonsense called “social justice”, a creature of little more character than theft.

This subversion has been conducted by the leftists within academia, media, law, and government. It has happened as we sat and satisfied ourselves.

The secret is never take this guys class.
Eventually he will be gone.

The 2nd secret is never ever take a sociology class at a community college. When one of these nutbags surfaces it almost always seems to be at a community college!

The 3rd secret is never never take a sociology course!

The day following Finkelstein's outburst, Lyle was pulled out of another class by a college official, Lyle said. The administrator said he knows Lyle is a gun owner and wanted to make sure he wasn't going to hurt anyone, according to Lyle.

In my experience, it's mostly liberals/leftists whose first thought is to shoot someone with whom they disagree.
