I think this "poetry teacher" needs to go back to school and learn what poetry is.

Like you said, this isn't about any threats, this is about a leftist teacher trying to use her authority to screw over a conservative minded student who disagreed with her leftist views.
He should sue.

This guy pegged her perfectly, painted her just for what she really is, a swollen headed liberal who thinks she knows whats good for everyone else and how they should live but is completely wrong about it all, and a racist.
He deserves an A+ for this, and extra credit for a prophacy that came true.

"No free speech for you," yelled the professors. "How dare you think that you can have a piece of this pie," as she stood in front of her daughter. "You are only here to work on the menial jobs that we pay our citizens welfare not to do. How dare you think I will allow you to become one with us. Next!"

Nah. I hope he wears his "Save Professor White" T shirt to class Wednesday, though! Or maybe just walks in and says "Good morning, Professor White..., er, uh, Ritter. Did you have a nice time while I was away?"

In it, a Mexican student named Juan has a sexual encounter with the daughter of his white professor.

And he was kicked out? This is an OUTRAGE! </sarcasm>

"I find ALL poetry pretentious, pointless and just plain boring."

Limericks and FR haikus are the exception in my book! :-)

Am I just dense, or is there truly no "threat," actual OR implied, in this poem?

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

A haiku in bloom,
spreads despair in my garden.
Eradicate it.

No denser than I, or apparently the administration (they did allow him to go back to the class with no notation in his record).

The solution, go to a conservative university. There are tons of them here in Texas...I'm sure there are some elsewhere.

Texas has:

Dallas Baptist University
Texas Christian Unversity
Baylor Universtiy (though they have some liberal professors)
University of North Texas (again, some liberal professors, but pretty fair)

Illinois:

Olivet Nazarene University
Wheaton Bible College (Denny Hastert's alum)


When we stop sending our kids to liberal establishments, it will change. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of good universities and colleges--why are we still sending our kids to the liberal think tanks?? (yes, I realize using liberal and "think" in that context is an oxymoron)

Yes, he should go down in history as a very prolific writer.

I saw no threat...like all writing, it was based losely in the experiences of the author, but not based ON.

Thanks for posting that. Unfortunately, it's all too common. A lot of teachers/instructors/professors just can't handle students who are smarter than they are.
