This is so par for the course..
An English teacher at Denver’s Metropolitan State College is being investigated by the college for bias, bullying and harassment after he gave students in his class an assignment to “undermine†the Republican portrayal of vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.
Metropolitan State College spokeswoman Cathy Lucas told FOXNews.com that the college has not received a formal complaint against Andrew Hallam, a professor who asked students to write an essay that would contradict the portrayal of Sarah Palin’s life as a “fairy tale,†but the school is asking students who know more to come forward.
It’s teachers like this that are living in a fairy tale. Most of them have never held a job working in the private sector and seem to live under a rock.

Janna Barber told Channel 4 in Denver that students in her English class were asked to write an essay based on three sources that criticize, undermine or contradict the Republican portrayal of Palin’s life as “a fairy tale†during her speech at the Republican National Convention.
“I was shocked. I was like, holy cow. This is just an open door for him to discuss politics with us,†Barber told the station.
Barber also accused Hallam of singling out Republican students and allowed other students to ridicule them.
Amazing. They should fire this clown.

hey, bonehead! liberals cant be kool-aid drinkers, due to the evolution of this colloquialism.
heres the etymology of this semantical term.
you recall way back, when the reverend jim jones of Indianapolis set up his cultic temple, in jonestown? and all his brainwashed maseese- about 900 of them, all committed mass suicide, by drinking cyanide laced grape “kool-aid”? it was some other grape-aide flavored mix, by the way, not kool-aid.
but anyway- they were a wacky religious cult- sort of like our local pro-life faction, here. who alos populate the halls of our local defunct GOP HQ.
see- they HATE liberals, and lots of other people who dont march goostepping down the boulevard.
they are much like the KKK- also from Indiana- I should know the deep inner working of that “KULT”- for sure, dude.
anyway- the Nazis, the KKK, die-hard conservative- all hate non-whites, non-navives, non-evangical christians( dont even get them going on the catholic church, refugees, illegal aliens, sanctuary cities, and so on…)
blown a gasket yet? so..they hate pregnant teens, abortions, islamics, muslims, gays, liberals, and so on.
SOOO. by applying the principle of “profiling”- i would suggest the views on god, country, religion, and narrowminded ness- comparing the jim jones jonestown cultist with the local pro-lifers, et al;
you would likely come to the conclusion that its conservatives- pro-lifers, nut jobs who are the tru kool-ade drinkers.
In conclusion, then, the term “liberal kool-ade drinkers” is either a contradiction in terms, or simply and oxy-moron. and you are too. GIGGLE!!!!
This professor should be reprimanded in some way. My wife is an English professor and, while she does not have problem expressing her political views, she does not belittle her students for their political views, she does not bash political figures of either party in her classroom.
This is the problem with our education system. They have stopped teaching the basics and would rather brainwash our children into believing their worldview.
