Did anyone else find the alleged apology disturbing?
She very clearly outlines the contents of the email as "extremely offensive, nearly rising to the level of obscenity." She's not even arguing for herself or her reasons, she's still trying to attack the messages within the original letter! All she wants to do is argue the issues, not the fact that she completely bashed a sect of students. She wants to be able to debate with students-not act like an adult and a "example."
I thought liberals were supposed to be open minded.
"I do apologize for my intemperate language, but the message you all sent out was extremely disturbing and offensive."
Translation: I'm sorry I was stupid enough to leave my university creditials in the email, but I am excused because what you snot-nosed pigs wrote is just WRONG.
Seriously, professors have been fired for so much less than this. How does this woman still have a job at this university? She'd be out on her rear end if I had the power. You can't debase students like this. You should NOT be allowed to preach your ideals (as the woman so clearly does) as radically as you want and then condem others for DARE having an opinion and possessing the skill and advantages to share it with others. I sincerely believe that it's teachers like this who don't teach because they want people to learn, but they teach because they see their podium as a pedestal where they can spout off whatever they want. And because we pay an arm and a leg for that class, we HAVE to sit there and listen to it. It's a total power trip for people like this woman, and it makes me sick because it almost comes to the point where I don't blame people for not wanting to go to college because of this. What's wrong with our educational system are teachers like THIS woman.
