One student’s complaint ends decade of teaching
College Fix: James Green admits he can get emotional when he talks about witnessing the Sept. 11 terrorist attack in New York City.
He and his wife saw one of the Twin Towers fall. “I mean we could still smell the fires burning at Thanksgiving, 2 1/2 months later!” the retired airline and U.S. Navy pilot told The College Fix in a lengthy Facebook message. “And we had friends who had watched the people jumping to their deaths from the burning towers.”
Green shared his Sept. 11 narrative with the students in his crew resource management class at Utah Valley State University on the 17th anniversary of the attack.
But according to The Salt Lake Tribune, the narrative posted by the adjunct aviation professor on the Canvas course web page closed with these controversial lines:
And it is also why I am “very” opposed to allowing any Muslims to immigrate into the USA! They hate us and always will.
Green emailed his narrative to students three minutes later without the lines about Muslim immigration, but it was too late. more here
I hope the University won’t be able to replace Capt. Green, and has to drop the course, and make sure the whole class know that little prick Studebaker is the reason.
“UVU unequivocally supports the constitutional right of individuals and groups to speak freely — and for professors to exercise academic freedom to the fullest protections of the First Amendment,” Scott Trotter, senior director of communications, wrote in an email.
Yeah, right.
UVU was emasculated around 20 years ago. I used to be on their Minority Council and watched it become coopted by radical feminism (pre-LGBT+), as if women were an underrepresented minority. It has all gone downhill since.
Its too bad. Great facilities and decent faculty. It suffers the same issues found an all campuses today (and that includes BYU, with whom UVU has a symbiotic relationship).
Revolutionary Act sighting.
