Student Says School Persecuted Him for Being Conservative Tuesday, December 16, 2008
E-Mail Print Share:
A former student at the Rhode Island College School of Social Work is suing the school and several of his professors for discrimination, saying he was persecuted by the school's "liberal political machine" for being a conservative.
William Felkner, 45, says the New England college and six professors wouldn't approve his final project on welfare reform because he was on the "wrong" side of political issues and countered the school's "progressive" liberal agenda.
Felkner said his problems with his professors began in his first semester, in the fall of 2004, when he objected in an e-mail to one of his professors that the school was showing and promoting Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" on campus. He said he objected because no opposing point of view was presented.
He said Professor James Ryczek wrote to him on Oct. 15, 2004, saying he was proud of his bias and questioning Felkner's ability to "fit with the profession."

A friend of mine had hoped to become a social worker and went to classes here in Fairbanks. He said every single professor was a marxist. If that is true here in Fairbanks, which I am sure it is, I can’t imagine the situation around the Country.
At a social work school, a man having a mid-life crisis might reasonably expect to be surrounded by hundreds of easy hippie girls. He couldn't reasonably be looking forward to 20 working years left of low pay to justify the cost of the college indoctrination.
There is a set of “professional ethics” written into the Rhode Island licensing standards for various positions of “social workers” in that state.
They were written by the working “professionals” in the industry.
Those professional ethics standards essentially prescribe a socialist perspective as part-and-parcel of a social workers job in Rhode Island.
The colleges in Rhode Island have adopted the standards, and their language, lock-stock-and-barrel into the curriculum standards and accredited-degree “mission” for courses that Rhode Island schools offer that will lead to work as a “social worker”.
FIRE has been on this case for Mr. Felkner for years.
Now they have her working an internship with violent sociopathic kids.
