University Of Kentucky Suspends Professor For Telling Kid To Learn English

Tim Brown


The University of Kansas suspended a professor of electrical engineering and computer science from teaching a class when he told an international student who was using Google translate that he should "learn English."

Now, that just seems to be common sense, right?  If you are attending a school where English is the language being used to teach, then the student should know English, right?  Only if you are a sane person does this make sense.

The removal of Professor Gary Minden was reported by The College Fix.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Learning English might be a safety  issue. Things like Stop! Turn it off! Fire! etc., might be handy to know, and are most effectively communicated in English rather than in some indecipherable jibberjabber..

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
