These people are insane. I’m just sick of them and of their brainwashing cult-like behavior. Can we get a divorce? I’m tired of dealing with people like that.

It's an isolated incident by an adjunct who has no purpose in a school... and it's also a community college.
It’s so funny that people think that these incidents are isolated. My entire graduate program was full of this, including an adjunct who turned a course that wasn’t focused on politics into something so nasty and political (and of course her politics were to the left of the political spectrum). Overall I think my graduate program was worth the cost due to the foundation it gave me to advance in my career, but I had to sit through plenty of classes like this, where it’s not even worth it to speak up. In fact, sometimes it was fun to play along.
I’ve got a friend in a social work graduate program right now and it’s even worse than this. One of her (older) professors committed the cardinal sin of accidentally using the wrong pronoun (it was a student who preferred they/their) and some folks (or excuse me, they mandated that she used the term “folx”) wanted this professor to be fired. Her program also routinely holds group discussions in which the students are separated by race. It’s an absolute garbage program and she’s embarrassed by the fact that she’s paying to sit through this nonsense, but needs the degree to move forward in her career.
The concept of a tenured professor at a community college is strange. All you need is "work experience" at a community college?
"work experience", as in gaining work in the field to apply for positions elsewhere.
I was an adjunct at a university, but many others came from a community college, all but myself and one other that I knew of were seeking out tenure positions, and being an adjunct assists padding their resume when competing for these positions.
Are you all really not understanding gaining work experience and job hopping to move up the ladder? I mean this is a common thing to do. I was a VP at my former job, but you think I was hired right out of college into it? No, I started off years ago as a junior analyst at another company.

I wouldnt call police in an emergency either! I would deal with it on my own, I feel confident that Im capable of that, if Im wrong, so be it...I would accept that too.
This is another mislabeled post to stir up the right wing pearl clutchers. The student wasn't berated. The teacher gave her truthful opinion. She answered the student's question. The student wanted to argue the case further so the teacher ended the class. Given all the recent news of police escalating situations, being trigger happy, being incompetent, the teacher's opinion was perfectly rational.
Them getting there doesn't mean they act appropriately when they do. I once called a plumber to fix a tub faucet that wouldn't turn off. He wanted to break through a tile and concrete wall all the way through the siding on the outside of the house. I asked him to leave. After a couple of days of trial and error I found the problem was a broken o-ring on the shower diverter. No damage to the house, faucet fixed. I could ask the plumber to leave, but once you call them you can't ask the police to leave if they wreak havoc on your life. They are not there to serve and protect. I don't trust them either. That's why I wouldn't call them either. Once upon a time the older cops were human beings, looking to help resolve problems. Now they are mostly programmed robots there to make revenue with tickets and arrests, and shoot to kill whenever they feel the slightest threat to their safety. This has been going on for decades. Back in 1999, Amadou Diallo was taking out his wallet when 4 cops pumped 50 bullets into him, mistaking him for someone else and his wallet for a gun. The trigger happy cops kept their jobs, one even being promoted to sergeant before he retired.

I'd say that is what triggers the escalation from the get go.
