The Shocking Warning Professor Allegedly Gave to Students Who Happen to Be ‘Ted Cruz-Supporting Teabaggers’

Many conservatives are now facing poignant levels of intolerance that subject them to the very abuse the US Constitution is supposed to protect them from:

The Shocking Warning Professor Allegedly Gave to Students Who Happen to Be ‘Ted Cruz-Supporting Teabaggers’

A UC Santa Barbara student alleges her black studies professor warned any “Ted Cruz-supporting ‘tea baggers’ to get the hell out of his classroom before he sent them home to their mother in a body bag.”

Demonstrators with the Tea Party protest the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) targeting of the Tea Party and similar groups during a rally called "Audit the IRS" outside the US Capitol in Washington, DC, June 19, 2013.

This was reportedly on the very first day of class last fall. The course, offered by Professor Otis Madison, was titled “The Obama Phenomenon.”

The student, identified as Alice Gilbert by the College Fix, says the quote is from memory but argued “there were other students with me in the class who can attest to them.”

“When Professor Madison made his comments in the very first lecture, I was taken aback and offended,” Gilbert said.

However, she claims she never complained to the university because the professor did not “target” her specifically and she wasn’t sure the school could do anything just because she was offended by something her professor said in class.

Which lefty will be the first to make a derogatory comment about the source of this story?

I bet you like tea-bagging!

I prefer loose tea, properly picked and processed, rinsed and strained and then poured. UK folk prefer their their tea steeped from a bag, sugar and cream to mask the taste.

Looks like the VJ mods got a whole lotta work to do to ensure every single post title in this forum matches an associated news title word for word.

what a whiner. since when is there a guarantee that you'll never be offended by something a college professor says in class?

I remember in one of my college math classes, the guy walks in and tells us, "Not all of you are meant to pass this class. I think about half of you are going to fail." At that point, I'm looking around the room to see how many people look dumber than me. If it's more than half, then I'm good.

But, I think telling someone that you'll send them home in a body bag is a bit too much.

i think that we're all getting a little crazy with what can and cannot be said. if this was something said to a class of children, i would agree with you.

I don't think he should lose his job or anything but someone should definitely pull him aside and let him know that it was a mistake and he should choose his words better.

Not saying the guy was right, but without context, how do we know the rest of it wasn't something like 'some of you will find this class shocking. You'll be shocked to death, especially if you're right wingers." *Insert rest of quote*

Because if that were the context, I wouldn't find it nearly as inappropriate to have made that comment. So I'd like to hear more, from other students, about the context.

That is true. By itself, it really sounds awful, but context could change everything.

Racist to boot. ** is a racist term. Marvin makes up code words every day on what is "offensive " Here is a code word that is offensive to white folks. **

Raging liberal here. Literally think that zero tolerance policies the ones that result in idiotic bs like this are the stupidest things ever. Context is everything. A ten year old making finger guns and saying 'bang bang, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to bring a gun and kill you' should be suspended. A ten year old making finger guns and saying 'what's up' should not. A ten year old signing his name in ASL and his sign name happening to include finger gun shapes should not.

Zero tolerance is extremism. Extremism is bad.
