I probably shouldn't say this, because it's not exactly justifiable. But there are times when I honestly think it would be a good idea to board up the doors of our complete education system for about 24 months. Then I'd start a private enterprise education system that was directly answerable to parents every step of the way. I'd do away with the tenure system and demand certain actions of the university professors if they were to expect one dime of public funds to pay their salaries. Socialists needn't apply.
The universities would be run by a rotating staff and a way would be devised to make sure socialists never return to power. Community leaders, church leaders and students would run the show. And professors would be a very small part of the adminstrative staff.

I hope he sues the towels off those students - and the university administration!

In a Master's level class on European Security Issues in Belgium, when the topics of Nuclear Weapons came up, I made the point that History demonstrates that nuclear powers use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear powers. The class exploded with exasperation and mumbling. At a break anpther American stuident came up to me and said that I was insensitive to the Japanese students in class.(BTW The professor thought I was correct in my analysis)

In yesterday's Orange County Register, school president Margaret Gratton said she still had neither heard the tapes nor read the transcript. "PLEASE! PLEASE! Don't embarrass me with the FACTS! I am ignorant of the FACTS and I intend to stay ignorant of the FACTS!"

Only after punishing Hearlson did the administration decide to investigate the charges against him. "If some of the allegations I made were not maybe right, if my memory was shady, this is not the first time anybody has brought anything against this teacher. . . . [Hearlson] has a history, and he obviously hasn't learned and needs to be taught a lesson."
Only when students brought their tapes to Hearlson--and Hearlson passed them on to his lawyer--did some members of the administration take note of them.
I HOPE this guy sues them all - the students, and the administration! How disgusting.

Send those students packing. They lied and they know they lied, are these the types of kids that deserve a shot at a college education?
I say no. Kick them out and replace them with some kids with integrity.

I never heard of Orange Coast College. The school might be trying to get publicity, believing in the statement: "All publicity is good publicity."
The word should go out: "Don't send your children there."

Good Morning
You know how Pavlovs dog worked.
Logic, passion, or fear will cause behavior modification.
If this story is true as written ridden out of town on a rail.
You deserve to be tarred and feathered.
In the military they call this a dumb shit move.
Old timers call it a brain fart.
What is your excuse?
