COSTA MESA An Orange Coast College teacher who told her students that Donald Trumps election was an act of terrorism has received threats and has temporarily left the state.
News of the threats against Olga Perez Stable Cox came to light Monday, as hundreds of people turned out at the college to demonstrate in support of her and against her.
The professor, the union that represents her and the college have received more than 1,000 emails, calls and Facebook comments most of them critical of Cox, who a week after the election was recorded on video telling students in her human sexuality class that were really back to being (in) a civil war.
Someone emailed her a picture of her house, with her address, said Rob Schneiderman, president of the Coast Federation of Educators/American Federation of Teachers Local 1911. The email called Cox a libtard, Marxist, hatemonger, nutcase and said her home address is now going to be sent everywhere, he added.
Others threatened her livelihood, some her life.

Yeah death threats! So much classier than rioting they tell us!
Although anyone who uses the phrase "libtard" in a college setting should be kicked out of school.

I hope this part isn't true:
A student said the teacher asked all Trump supporters to stand up so she could, "Show the class who to watch out for."
Assuming that happened (and it wouldn't surprise me if it's a lie), I wouldn't like my professors/teachers to do such a thing even if I agreed with them.
There's no excuse for the vile retribution against her, however.
