The same kind of professor that lets you get credit for class by sitting on a lawn and bitching about DoD funding of some University research.

My question is, isn’t forcing students to take part in political activity a breach of academic ethics? What if a professor was forcing students to make up signs and demonstrate along side white power protesters at a “Jena 6″ rally? Same principle.

Actually, my real question is: doesn’t the professor who’s making these poor students do this realize just how lame and contrived these sorts of demonstrations inevitably look?

I’m so tired of people being earnest about things. It’s just kind of embarrassing for the rest of us.

Seriously, isn’t dragging kids out of class to protest some sort of violation of the obligations that teachers have to giver their students an education; and a costly one at that?

Again, I feel bad about deleting your comments. It has nothing to do about your opinions. As an administrator of this blog I ask you to please keep your self-serving ego away. You post things anonymously, which says a lot (or a little) about your character in the first place. I’m glad you get a kick out of “riling us up,” but it is a poor attempt and I am asking you to stop for the sake of the overall intelligence of the student body. Your are wasting our time.
Thank you.

Because he’s a terrible writer, and - as far as anyone can tell from his comments - he’s clueless. Ted: if he was helping, that would be *bad*. There are standards, right?

He left his IP when he visited my blog, so it’s only a matter of time before the Bias Response Team shows up at his door to drag him away to Diversity Camp.
