Brainwashing students using your tax money (updated)

By Thomas Lifson

Our tax dollars are at work bashing Sarah Palin in state-funded higher education. Denver's CBS affiliate has a video and web report:

Metro State College is investigating a professor who asked students to write an essay critical of Republican vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin. One student said the instructor singled out Republican students in the class and allowed others to ridicule them. [....]

"I was shocked, I was holy cow, this is just an open door for him to discuss politics with us," Jana Barber first told CBS4 Wednesday, a student in the class.

Barber shared the class' first assignment with CBS4 Wednesday. Hallam asked students to write an essay to contradict what he called the 'fairy tale image of Palin' presented at the Republican National Convention.

Barber filed an official complaint with the college which triggered the investigation.

The leftist dementia has reached a point where progressives believe ordinary rules no longer apply to them, so crucial is it to defeat conservatives. whom they regard as entirely illegitimate. An instructor so deluded has no place in a classroom.

Watch the video below for a report on the bullying of Republican students allegedly encouraged by this teacher.

Update: Janna Barber is to appear on The O'Reilly Factor tonight. It turns out that she is the sister of AT contributor Matt Barber, who in his day job is Director of Cultural Affairs with Liberty Counsel and Associate Dean with Liberty University School of Law
