“I Was Shocked”: Professor Demands Students Write Paper Defaming Palin – With Video

The legal punishment for this should be execution. Reminds me of this worthless female relative of minetrying to indoctrinate my 7 year-old daughter behind my back. Originally, the Maxim piece opened with a scene of my daughter saying “President Bush is a bad and stupid man”. “Who told you that?” “Worthless Cunt”. Which is not the name she gave really, obviosly,but I’m feeling charitable. Actually I think the relative in question is dead.)
DENVER (CBS4) ― Metro State College is investigating a professor who asked students to write an essay critical of Republican vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin. One student said the instructor singled out Republican students in the class and allowed others to ridicule them.
“I was shocked, I was holy cow, this is just an open door for him to discuss politics with us,” said Jana Barber, a student in the class.
Barber shared the first class assignment with CBS4. Instructor Andrew Hallam asked students to write an essay to contradict what he called the ‘fairy tale image of Palin’ presented at the Republican National Convention.
“What the faculty’s responsibility is to provide opportunity for critical thinking and civic engagement so bringing something of relevancy into the classroom was the faculty’s goal,” said Cathy Lucas, spokeswoman for Metro State. “Should he have broadened it and included all the political figures, yes.”
Metro State officials are investigating claims of bias, harassment and bullying.
Hallam declined an interview with CBS4. He has revised the assignment.
Students may now write about any of the candidates.
