GDContractor sends us a link to a story at Hypeline<\/a> about a disabled veteran and student, Matthew Monahan, who was booted from a Journalism class at Texas Christian University because the teacher of the particular class decided that Matthew’s class assignment<\/a> was \u201cdark, offensive and inappropriate\u201d. I’m not sure we’re getting the whole story, but then the University isn’t answering any questions. <\/p>\n

The University sent a detective from the University’s police unit to investigate the incident. They told the police that Monahan had been confrontational and indignant during a class discussion of his blog post, but there are no details of that discussion – only the emotional reaction of the teacher, Ms. Melita Garza. The police note in their report (at the Hypeline<\/a> link) that Monahan had no prior offenses and that he was completely cooperative with the officer and the school’s administration. The teacher, however disagreed;<\/p>\n

The professor gave the student an \u201cF\u201d on the blog post. Then the professor reported the disabled student veteran to the department chair stating, \u201cthe student\u2019s degrading references to women and disturbing video elicited concerns for my safety,\u201d the professor said. \u201cI was concerned about the safety of other students in the course, most of whom were women.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, if it’s true that the teacher’s assessment was about the blog post that I linked above<\/a>, I don’t see what she’s talking about. The “disturbing video” is just an interview with the two female soldiers who graduated from Ranger School last year – I don’t know what could be disturbing about it. But then, I never did understand Leftists’ tendency towards hyperbole when it comes to their feelings.<\/p>\n

Like I said, we’re probably not hearing the whole story, but then the University isn’t being cooperative in giving us their side, so what are we to do? They should say something because, at this point they look like a-holes who don’t like disabled veterans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
