Community college sociology is community college sociology. Only value of the course is checking the HR credentialism box for "has a degree." The professor sees it as a soapbox and/or is deeply embittered a better institution never wanted them; the students want to collect the easiest diploma possible and move on (at this school only 22% successfully do, not a typo). Almost no one is there to actually learn.

Degree inflation is the dumbest thing, doubly so when taxpayer subsidized and triply so when four in five students drop out without even the piece of paper.

No, it cannot.

Certainly not in the context of the university environment.

How many times are people on the Left told or forced to shut up by people on the Right on University campuses in the US?

Now, how many times are people on the Right told or forced to shut up by people on the Left on University campuses in the US?


Now, do you see that you are wrong?

You don’t think sexual harassment exists. Interesting.

As usual with these videos, there's not enough to get any sense of context. I do think that, regardless of political views, for any professor or teacher to curse at a student is unprofessional.

And it's not the first time that happened. There's a video posted on Youtube back in 2012 about a teacher who yelled to a student because he asked a question about Obama.

Edit: Maybe that teacher used the French word "phoque" as a loophole to bypass the F-word problem like in Family Guy but it didn't work.

It's been going on for YEARS.

Thankfully NOW some of these people can be taped and videoed and the charges against them can be proven.

Well, you know, Conservatives are so religious and all, that they are deeply offended by any foul language. (except when Donald Trump uses it, that is fine)

Having actually taught at a small University (not a community college), I'm amused. The "prof" is way too easily baited, and needs to find a different career.
