Professor
Angeletti of Metropolitan State must have tenure so from dismissal he must be
immune
But his
requirement of reciting his brand of Pledge of Allegiance is crazier than a loon
Worse he may
be on drugs since the last time I looked we have a black Blue in the White
House
This nation
being Republican controlled is a pretty foolish idea for him to espouse
Attacking
Republicans and Christians because of their beliefs
Is just
another example of why this nation is in such grief
Academic
freedom has to be a two way street
Not one way
from the prof only so a dissenting student’s GPA goes down to defeat
He is
entitled to his views but he is not entitled to the students’ dissent suppress
Armed with
the power of the grade to two way discussion arrest
I can only
imagine what it is like in his class with his closed mind
With any
chance of real learning or discussion left far, far behind
I would hope
the students start to record his rants and raves
So
dissenters will have a chance for an unbiased grade to save
Or better yet his class all but the most liberal should boycott
There is no learning when a student cannot express without retaliation one's thoughts
As to his Pledge
set forth below, I would absolutely refuse such lunacy to it recite
It is just
another example not of academic freedom but of academic blight

“I pledge allegiance to and wrap myself in the flag of the United States
Against Anything Un-American, and to the Republicans for which it stands, two
nations, under Jesus, rich against poor, with curtailed liberty and justice for
all except blacks, homosexuals, women who want abortions, Communists, welfare
queens, treehuggers, feminazis, illegal immigrants and children of illegal
immigrants and you, if you don’t watch your step.”
