Brickbat: An Act of Terrorism

Mjak / Dreamstime.com

Olga Perez Stable Cox is a psychology professor at California's Orange Coast College and during a recent class on human sexuality went on a multi-minute tirade about the election of Donald Trump, deeming it an assault. "One of the most frightening things for me, and most people in my life, is that the people who are committing the assault are among us," she said. A student recorded the rant, and the head of the school's Young Republican Club posted it to Facebook. Now, the union that represents the professor is warning of legal action against the student who recorded it.

I'll bet she has a raspberry beret.

[straffinrun]

You win.

[Adans smith]

To be fair,it was an easy call.

[Lee Genes]

From the video, she's a woman who wears a fedora, so yes.

[Ted S.]

Community college, so I presume public school.

[Rat]

It is the main campus of Orange County's community college system.

[Fist of Etiquette]

He did tell her the college encourages a discourse on current events between students and faculty when it's in context.

And what is more relevant to human sexuality than Donald Trump up against Hillary Clinton?

My eyes my eyes1

[Rat]

You need a third party.

[The Fusionist]

We already have one guy imagining that kind of stuff here.

[The Hyperbole]

Multi-minute triade?

This woman is an idiot but that is not a tirade or rant (and under two-minutes). I want my rants to have spittle flying, arms waving, and table slapping. If you want to mock people for over reacting you should probably avoid doing the same.

Nah, just the thought of it is enough.

[Radioactive]

I got nothing...

[Jerryskids]

I think you're all missing the point here: Charles Oliver's muscling in on Rico Suave's campus SJW beat. Is it because we don't lavish enough attention on his hair? Has Chuck-o even got attention lavishing-worthy hair?

Jerry, Brickbats are made from the crumbs swept up off the floor of the reason offices. That's why they sometimes repeat articles covered independantly, or resemble the sorts of things covered almost exclusively by a given staff member.

[Jimbo]

Well I am going to suggest Shitbricks, which are swept up from the bathroom floor in Reason HQ. Chapman will be in charge of "gathering" up said Shitbricks.

So if two or more persons are required for a conspiracy, and a union has two or more people, are we looking at a conspiracy to violate someone's first amendment rights?
As in post a video as an act of speech, get threatened in an attempt to suppress said speech.
Not to mention that wonderful piece of street theatre was "triggering" to anyone right of Lenin.

[Dustin Thornton]

Hah! Legal action for exposing her bigotry?

[Bra Ket]

Perhaps they'll go after him for not including ASL and braille with the video. That may be a felony in California.

[Rat]

It wasn't simulcast en espanol.

""The unions are acting like thugs, like bullies themselves," said attorney Shawn Steel."

How unusual.

[SchillMcGuffin]

That was sort of baked into the Wagner Act, wasn't it?

[SchillMcGuffin]

Back in the early '80s, in my Freshman year post-Reconstruction American History course, I had a professor who truly did almost nothing but pontificate on his current political gripes -- Reagan generally, and Central America/the Contras in particular. There was assigned reading, which he completely ignored until the exams, though while that covered the traditional span of the subject matter, the exams essentially covered nothing but the period from the 1960s on.

There were a few receptive students who he played-to in class, but most of us just endured it and moved on to the next class. I always remember the class, though, when I hear the latest campus PC horror stories -- I wonder if all classes are almost like that now, or if it's just that some are even more intrusive, requiring more participation in the "reeducation".
