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

[JohnR! 5,495]

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.

Academia is not for the faint of heart, as demonstrated by some posters here...

That basket ball owner should have the same thing done to him right... pull him aside and let him know that it was a mistake and he should choose his words better.

The basket ball owner had to answer to his peers, just like this guy...

although i don't understand what the hell you are trying to say, i can see the picture you so graciously provided - just wanted to point out that if you read the op, one of the first descriptors given was that the professor is black, but thanks for the reinforcement.

jeez. not at all the same thing.

We all know Tea Party is code word for white. Fire him

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

I'm going to assume that most don't know who Brian McLaren is. He's a Christian pastor and author. Some of the things he's said has him labeled as a heretic by some; but he does have a very interesting approach to Christianity.

I bring this up because his approach to spreading the word of God is not to go out and constantly preach at people. His approach is just conversations. In his words:

I just think it kind applies to what Marvin and OMWID are saying. You can have an effect on people without trying so hard; just be a good person.

Like those right wing religious losers at UGA and Braves games, screaming "you are going to hell" at people. I bet they win a lot of people over LOL

You sound like a raving lunatic. If you hate blacks so much move somewhere there are none, like space.

Or a Tea Party rally

how they take a somewhat decent list of ideals and twist them into something completely ineffective/polarizing all while missing the point of the big picture.

Can you explain what you mean, or are you only capable of demonizing?

I think Ideas like responsible govt, controlling run away spending, stopping the increase of the massive tax burden,and following the constitution, really offend some

Ignorance and a little bit of craziness too...

I call and raise you a Democrat liberal that thought Guam may tip over

Thanks for the link... Here is their list of 15 core beliefs:

1. Illegal aliens are here illegally.

2. Pro-domestic employment is indispensable.

3. A strong military is essential.

4. Special interests must be eliminated.

5. Gun ownership is sacred.

6. Government must be downsized.

7. The national budget must be balanced.

8. Deficit spending must end.

9. Bailout and stimulus plans are illegal.

10. Reducing personal income taxes is a must.

11. Reducing business income taxes is mandatory.

12. Political offices must be available to average citizens.

13. Intrusive government must be stopped.

14. English as our core language is required.

15. Traditional family values are encouraged.

7 and 8 are basically redundant but I agree with these and it should be what a "true" tea party stands for with the rest of the garbage removed.. Anything beyond these two and they are just killing the message.

13 and 15 seem to be at odds..

Anyone following US politics for the last few years would have the impression the Teaparty manifest would have only one point: Repeal the ACA.

On paper all these look fine, except for those which are contradictory or downright subjective, such as #12.

BS walks...

i also have issues a number of points in the introduction (mainly the 'judeo-christian values embedded in our great founding documents)

So does the U.S. Constitution, fortunately, for all of us!
