Here's an interesting read on how students have graded him through the years. This, apparently, was not his first rant.

My question would have been perfectly appropriate and effective given that this professor has turned himself into a cultural caricature.

If you can be cast into such a tizzie by a milquetoast such as that professor then you'd best go hide under your beds.

But don't you dare challenge your professors...you haven't the backbone for it.

The person that DID challenge him was called a racist and was reminded that he was a college professor.

He's a bully plain and simple. Agree with him or pay the consequences a professor has control of.

Funny how he must not see his views of white people and their skin cells as racist. It doesn't take much backbone to bully from a point of authority. He's a coward IMO.

Execellent find.

Gives you insight inot his classroom antics.

He was described as sexist in more than one review and all he constantly talks about is his wealth, yet he hates republicans

It would be particularly ineffective and would only serve to further motivate him to behave in the way that offends you.

Blindly accusing someone of being a closet racist in front of an entire college class because they don't agree with your wild and offensive rants about politics isn't challenging anyone's beliefs, it's bullying and harassment.

He's there to teach the subject he's being paid to teach....not lecture (indoctrinate) anyone about any politics of any type.

This.

And it doesn't matter what side he is a cheer leader for. Teach the students the material, not your personal political beliefs.

Exactly, he wasn't challenging anyone because if that were true he wouldn't attack someone who didn't agree with him or his rant.
