Prof Assigns “Kill the President” email
A political science instructor at Santa Rosa Junior College is being investigated by the Secret Service for telling his students to compose an e- mail to an elected official that included the words “kill the president, kill the president,” a school administrator said Wednesday.
Michael Ballou, a part-time lecturer who teaches an “Introduction to U.S. Government” course at the college’s Petaluma campus, intended the assignment to be an “experiential exercise that would instill a sense of fear so they would have a better sense of why more people don’t participate in the political process, ” according to the San Francisco Chronicle
The media gets a lot wrong. Check out http://www.angelfire.com/oz/farceandfact/ for my side of the story.
This man is not a Political Science teacher as his title states, or as he claims to be. I am in his class and he is a man who teaches people hatred for Bush. He does most of his classes around the gay marraige issue- maybe he is a closet Bush fan. Well, come out of the closet. How about if his next assignment is to type “kill the teacher”, let’s be fair to both sides like he says.
