Murica? Do you think that it is right for College Students to say Pledge Against the USA?

I have said it all along but this is just part of a populace that is growing and that is anti-USA. I think it is time for us to put a reality hat and stop with the partisan shenanigans of a small portion of this society. Here below is the utter non-sense:
"If you sign up for Denver college professor Charles Angeletti's American Civilization class, be forewarned that you're going to have to recite his invective-filled 'New Pledge' -- and according to some of his students, also be ready to swallow a big helping of his politics.
Angeletti, who teaches at Metropolitan State University of Denver, has students learn an anti-American spoof of the Pledge of Allegiance that denounces the U.S. as a Republican-controlled bastion of injustice, all while spewing his own far-left brand of politics, according to current and former students.
“I pledge allegiance to and wrap myself in the flag of the United States Against Anything Un-American,” reads Angeletti's version. “And to the Republicans for which it stands, two nations, under Jesus, rich against poor, with curtailed liberty and justice for all except blacks, homosexuals, women who want abortions, Communists, welfare queens, treehuggers, feminazis, illegal immigrants, children of illegal immigrants, and you, if you don't watch your step.”
“We’re very racist, we’re very repressive, we’re very Christian oriented, we don’t tolerate other kinds of thinking in this country.”
- Charles Angeletti, professor at Metropolitan State University

What are your views other than it was Fox News? Are you really for America and this? Leave your voting cards at home...

In the final analysis, this is not a Fox thing. It is an attempt to criticize America because they think it is fashionable. No country is perfect but nothing wrong with an opinion (whether one likes it or not) without making it personal. I could see the arguments for what the professor did if it was a teaching point and not pushing his own agenda.

Russia wouldn't even want the professor socialists. In America we have accepted the enemy within and turned them into heroes while we veterans have watched our brethren die to allow the propaganda accelerate to the point Americans have become the scared populous we are today. Thank you to our elected officials to forget who saved this country from such enemies they now love so much.

Sounds like we are trying to bring former Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's comment "We will bury you!" ("Мы вас похороним!") to reality. He alluded to our national tendency to have short political memories and crumble from within. Sometimes the past visits us with a vengeance.

Student: Michigan State professor's rant went beyond Republicans to Christians, athletes
Read the account of one student who was in the professor's class during his controversial lecture.

I think it's pretty factual. I'm sure GOP congress would do something about it if they weren't busy either shutting down or starting the 30th vote against the ACA.

SGT Crawford, can you elaborate how the shutdown, or threat of a shutdown, is the GOP's fault but never the Dems?

SSgt l OI, This shows that most people cannot the cope with responsibilities of citizenship and should be beaten to near death until they have FEAR in their minds and bodies, then they will appreciate freedom! A free ride-as in the last 60 Years does not teach appreciation

I wish there was a way to highlight certain parts of a response... I'd like to respond line-by-line to the professor's "pledge".

I'm kind of thinking along similar lines of PO1 (Join to see) concerning the pledge issue. I don't believe that the students should be forced to recite his version for a grade, however. I don't think regurgitating something necessarily counts as learning.
As for the rest of it...I'm conflicted.
This appears to be an elective class, and students do forget that they are paying these professors. Most of these students are young, straight out of high school. And American public schools, thanks to the "No Child Left Behind" nonsense, has been teaching kids to take tests. Critical thinking skills are sorely lacking.
Many of them get to college and then find themselves upset when they realize that professors actually require them to use their brains for something other than memorizing facts.
I'm not sure what this guy's agenda is. Is he forcing students to "think outside the box" or is he purposely trying to push an agenda on impressionable kids? Maybe he's just an d-bag. I wouldn't mind taking his class to find out.

I just put the "critical thinking" part as a comment on PO1 (Join to see) 's response. SGT (Join to see) , I completely agree with that part.

He is safe from repercussions from the government. The 1st amendment guarantees that. However, that doesn’t mean people face no repercussions for what they say. The college should be able to fire him. If enough students and parents of students spoke out then action would be taken. In the end it’s all about money. If students walked this assclown would be fired.

SFC (Join to see) , if this was a middle or high school we were talking about, I'd absolutely agree with it. But, this is a college. I guess, for one: the students are paying for the class. For two: many students have never encountered teachers who are allowed to teach anything but what is going to be on a test. It's a culture shock, of sorts...but I think it helps us to keep in mind: these are adults. For many students, the coddling is over, and "welcome to the real world."

SGT (Join to see) Except the lectures always seem to be from the anti-American angle in our colleges and universities. Why is that? Could it be that academia is flooded with the hippies of the 60's and 70's?

SFC (Join to see), he does appear to be well within that age range. I don't know. I suppose it's possible.
