 Public university removes white instructor for telling students to ‘be respectful in class’
Ethan Berman - University of Texas-Austin •December 6, 2018
 

Black student apologized ‘if my behavior appeared to be disruptive’

A white biology instructor who repeatedly warned her students to behave themselves has been yanked out of the classroom for the semester and required to undergo classroom management training.

The University of Texas-San Antonio cleared Anita Moss of showing racial bias toward a black student, who has a history of being disruptive, by calling campus police on her.

But a second investigation faulted the senior lecturer for telling students throughout the fall semester to “be respectful in class” by keeping their feet off chairs, putting away their phones and not talking.

I weep for the future.

Surely there must be a few colleges SOMEWHERE where the leftists don't rule?

A college class, full of supposed adults, where the teacher has to tell the students to behave.   Yes, this bullshit should be free for all young people because they're our future.   

@Dexter clean up your house before you start demanding free things for it.

I would be fine with serious college reform if it became publicly funded. As a society we need to stop blaming teachers for the shortcomings of students. Publicly funded university is going to happen sooner or later. If Republicans came to the table now they might be able to keep things less insane. It won't go down like that, though.

   My English Lit Professor at UofH in the early 70's always called me out in front of everybody for my stupid essays, similar to some of you 46 years later.  The more things change the more they stay the same.

Professor Kingsfield could never teach today.

But . . . aren’t both parties public? One is a public professor and one is a public student.

Why is it assumed that everyone need attend college?

Universal, taxpayer funded college would be a waste of money and talent.

Most of the really important jobs that keep society humming don’t require college. From the trades, to sanitation workers, to transportation workers these jobs pay well and offer workers a good living.

There are plenty of unemployed college graduates who eventually find their niche in a more realistic job pursuit.

You know exactly what I am talking about. I'm not much for playing pedantic games.
