Score one for the good guys!

Goes to show the garbage that's being taught in our higher education facilities at the expense of the American Taxpayer.
Education Accountability is much needed in Our College institutions.

[Newbomb Turk]

So did the Prof get FIRED. So to speak.

[Ciexyz]

They gave this Prof the day off?! That's it?! They should've terminated her on the spot.

[Vigilanteman]

Glendora is a nice middle class suburb about 40 minutes east of LA. Citrus College is a state funded community college. This professor needs a pink slip and an invitation to peddle her political views on her own time and dime.

>> They should've terminated her on the spot<<

Send her to Gitmo.

The inmates are lonely.

The real problem is that kids get graded on test questons that require a "correct" leftwing answer. How can they keep their minds free and clear?

I tried to hire a book editor in Florida nine yhears ago, and our best candidate totally flunked the spelling and grammar test we administered. He had a masters in Journalism from UF in Gainesville. Why did you flunk? "Because our teachers don't grade on writing and editing skills, they grade on political correctness."

[gcruse]

I saw the original FIRE press release and thought, good, but no one will know. Not that UPI has picked it up, I say, GOOD!

[patriciaruth]

Send her to Gitmo

Nah. Send her to Bagram.

[GSWarrior]

I would like to see the FIRE hotline posted in every classroom.

[moyden2000]

Want to drop her a line?

My Texas raised son owns two houses and lives in Glendora. I visited him there last summer.

I also believe this is good news. You're right the press will avoid this like the plague. They don't want accountability in our learning institutions.

She won't need to be fired. She will probably leave on her own and have her choice of Chairs at major universities for the upcoming academic year.

[Cultural Jihad]

So they caught Speech 106 in one small college being a traitor the ideals of the university, but they missed the Music 102 instructors of every State college, who spent all week haranguing to the future leaders of America how vile and evil American society is.

[Cultural Jihad]

... a traitor to the ideals ...

So they caught Speech 106 in one small college being a traitor [to] the ideals of the university, but they missed the Music 102 instructors of every State college, who spent all week haranguing to the future leaders of America how vile and evil American society is.

I think that's a little beyond the scope of the complaint.

Incidentally, not all news on the academic front is bad - I work in the *mumble* Department at *cough* University, and nine out of ten professors are staunch conservatives. [The tenth is just a jerk.] Engineering and Business professors are very often conservative; Computer Science somewhat less so (but possessing a strong libertarian streak). The worst offenders are the humanities and social sciences departments; i.e., the BA's in BS. It is possible to get a good education - you just have to shop selectively.

This is not new. In 1953 in freshman English class at Texas A&M, I had a communist for a professor. I have been very conservative all my life. He and I locked horns and it became obvious that I was going to fail if I didn't suck up to him. Half the final was an essay. One of the titles I could pick from was "How I Was Wrong." I wrote this lie about how he had convinced me about his socialist doctrine and how blind I had been. I made an A on the final.
