4. Elizabeth Armstrong

Identifies herself as an Italian-American who was offended by a teacher's comment about American Beauty. "...she doesn't want to be identified with those WASPS..." "I am an Italian-American and take offense..."

WASP = white anglo saxon protestant.

Beth, are you confusing that with WOPs?

Duh....???

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Legislation that would restrict what university professors could say in their classrooms was introduced yesterday in Ohio.

Judging from reactions in other states where similar bills have been considered, controversy won’t be far behind.

Marion Sen. Larry A. Mumper’s "academic bill of rights for higher education" would prohibit instructors at public or private universities from "persistently" discussing controversial issues in class or from using their classes to push political, ideological, religious or anti-religious views.

Senate Bill 24 also would prohibit professors from discriminating against students based on their beliefs and keep universities from hiring, firing, promoting or giving tenure to instructors based on their beliefs.

~snip~

The language of Mumper’s bill comes from a 2003 booklet by conservative commentator David Horowitz that lays out how students can persuade universities to adopt the "bill of rights." The booklet says it is "dedicated to restoring academic freedom and educational values to America’s institutions of higher learning."

sample "complaint" ... note that the complaint is made without checking facts first ... "he has an English accent but claims to be American"

Nature of Complaint: Singled Out, Other, criticized US Administration of Iraq
Description of Complaint (please be as detailed as possible, including quotes from your professor where applicable):
Talked about flags as symbols of states and argued that new Iraqi flag was not a result of a transparent and fair process. Argued AS FACT that new flag had similar colors to Israeli flag and that this could be problematic. Claimed AS FACT that other Arab societies had red, green and black in their flags. Very biased. Had no visual proof of this.

Action Taken:
I will fact check and complain to administration. He has an English accent but claims to be an American.

Response from Professor or Administrator (If Any):

~it's like the gestapo~

“This complaint applies to the discriminating nature of grading of my English teacher…On the last one, I wrote about how family values in the books weve read aren’t good. I know the paper was pretty much great because I spell checked it and proofred it twice. I got an D- just because the professor hates families and thinks its okay to be gay.” - Ohio State, English, 2/9/05

8. this is the new Right-wing frontier

To hit the campuses the same way they did the media. So they can pump out little free market Nazis.

9. er... those are hilarious.

the first one I saw for a "college algebra" class - was clearly a parody. Then there were a bunch of critiques of the website - and how scary the folks posting there were... and then further down there are a couple of "real" complaints. Is this site for real, or is it a parody of Horowitz's effort. If parody - pretty funny. If real - hahaha on Horowitz.

10. Next Horowitz will have a website for children to turn in their parents

who are too "liberal". Sounds like 1984.
