California College To Apologize To Bush After Teacher Coerces Students Into Writing Anti-War LettersAnother example of the swing toward college liberalism run amok. Professor Rosalyn Kahn dislikes Bush and his stand on Iraq she made it clear to her Speech 106 class she made it clear they would receive extra credit if and only if they wrote protest letters to President Bush. She then made a similar assignment for state Sen. Jack Scott, D-Pasadena and personally delivered them to him. Chris Stevens, one of the students, contacted FIRE -- the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education -- a Philadelphia-based campus watchdog group, and they took action. FIRE's Chief Executive Officer, Thor L. Halvorssen, praised the school. "When fully informed of a frightening violation of freedom of conscience, the college administration responded swiftly and boldly to restore liberty and to undo the harm already done," he said. The report does not say whether Kahn has been censured in any way, other than being given a day off while the administration investigated. Imagine the outcry on campus if a college professor forced students to write pro-Bush letters Article Here |
