    Michigan Professors Who Made Anti-Republican Statements Still Teaching, Given Pay Raises…

    http://www.weaselzippers.us/275608-...n-statements-still-teaching-given-pay-raises/

    HYPERLINK has full story

    snip

    What happens to a professor who makes national headlines for bashing Republicans? In the case of two Michigan scholars, they keep teaching – and get pay raises.

    Professor Susan Douglas of the University of Michigan, who famously wrote an op-ed titled “I hate Republicans,” and Professor William Penn at Michigan State, who said Republicans “raped this country,” continue to teach students and have enjoyed pay raises in recent years.
    ...................

    Penn’s salary was $145,800 in the 2011-2012 school year, according to MSU budget information cited by MLive.com. More recently, that compensation has grown. Michigan Capitol Confidential, which filed a freedom of information act request, reports that Penn earned $147,410 in 2013, $149,910 in 2014, and $152,310 in 2015....................

    end snip

    hmm, that's a pretty nice salary for a Democrat voter with a job at a state university. Maybe we now know why they vote Demcorat. Where else can they get that kind of pay?

    Anyway, more ho-hum as we see 2 more cases of double standards where liberals are not held to the same standards as conservatives.

    So you oppose free speech....unless it's to praise Republicans or bash Democrats?

    Not giving pay raises is anti-free speech?

    Professors should be neutral and not indoctrinate their students with their beliefs.

    Why? The role of teachers and professors is to groom future Democrat voters.

    As long as everyone is treated the same, there should be no problem with it.

    For all the RWers that believe in that conspiracy, it is clear they did not go to college. I went, including graduate school, none of what you claim, happened.

    Those pay raises seem to be more in-line with yearly inflation than some kind of reward for their opinions

    I just saw an example of it last week at a staff meeting.

    [​IMG]

    Many of us in my district went to classes held at schools after school ended. One of them was about how idioms could be confusing to English learners and ways to overcome that. The example the professor used - was this. "Sleep with the fishes" - if you're an English learner, it makes little sense, how do you go to sleep underwater surrounded by fishes? Or other idioms like "Hit the music" - taken literally, it makes no sense. But look at the example our liberal overlords used - a Chris Christie cartoon.

    I noted to everyone at the table that we had just gotten an email from the district telling us to steer clear of politics, but that not everybody got the memo. What was even more interesting was that when I took a picture of the above, the guy running the show said "You like the picture, eh?" - and his conversation and demeanor indicated that this kind of bias was just the normal opinion everyone should have. Put another way, he thought it was no big deal nor unprofessional at all to inject politics into a staff development meeting as long as they were Democrat politics, nor was it an issue to be anti-GOP or anti-Christie because that was simply the natural state for all teachers anyway.

    Who calls it a "conspiracy" ?

    Is it a conspiracy to proclaim that water is wet?

    What does this have to do with the notion that college is liberal indocrtrination.

    The point was that it's much worse than just liberal indoctrination in education, but rather that educators are so entrenched in the liberal mindset that they think it's the only thing out there. While we keep hearing that teachers are never to stop learning (and why else have these continual staff development meetings otherwise?) they've become the opposite of learners , they're now intellectual fascists.

    I believe that you perhaps posted within the wrong thread? Who would even deny that universities are not bastions of Democrat voting professors?

    I deny it because it didn't happen, period. That is another false narrative from RWers.

    No it isn't, I went to college it didn't happen. This is all RWer false narratives.

    Except for the times that it does. So, since it didn't happen to you means it didn't happen at all? Textbook definition of solipsism.

    It didn't happen, period, other than RW imagination.
