Michigan State reassigns teaching duties of professor caught on tape bashing Republicans

[TM99]

10. Well thankfully, you are not a college administrator.

You are wrong on several accounts.

I was a young college Republican almost 30 years ago. Sorry to disappoint you, however, I was and remain quite intelligent and very empathetic. I have multiple graduate degrees and work as both a psychotherapist and a tech entrepreneur.

In college, I organized the first AIDS Symposium at my small college campus. Because of it, we got condoms into all dorm bathrooms. I was also a big conservationist involved with WWF, the Sierra Club, started an Amnesty International Group, and spent summers in college working for Habitat for Humanity. Summers in my first graduate program were spent going door to door in support of CONNPIRG.

This type of blind partisanship is what causes difficulties on both sides of the political spectrum. I am no longer a registered Republican, preferring now to be an Independent aligned with sane & intelligent Democrats, Greens & Libertarians.

This isn't about equal time for right wingers. This is about what is appropriate in a collegiate setting. And what this professor as a 'liberal' or another as a 'conservative' did or might do to this extreme is simply unacceptable and unprofessional. Occasional political discussions if the topic warrants it or the circumstances is one thing. Argumentative and narcissistic pushing of a political agenda is quite another.
