A part-time college instructor has apologized for kicking a student because he was wearing a Republican shirt. Fort Lewis College student Mark O'Donnell said he was showing people his College Republicans sweat shirt, which said "Work for us now ... or work for us later," when Maria Spero kicked him in the leg at an off-campus restaurant.

When I saw the way they mangled my B-C sign, I knew that whomever did that was nutty.

For some reason, I picture the guy on the right from the way you say that.

Isn't Colorado home of the fighting whitey's T shirt?

Yep. 'Fight'en Whites' was the name picked by a mixed race intramural team at the University of Northern Colorado at Greeley. It was a good natured jab at the use of Native American names for college teams.

The shirt featured a white man in 1950's business man attire...hat and all. They sold a lot of them...around $30,000 worth and were looking to establish a scholarship the last I heard. They had a website for a while. I don't know if they are still in business...

I think this woman needs to be dressed in a burqa and told she can't leave her husbands home without permission.

Spero, a visiting instructor of modern languages, apologized to O'Donnell in a letter dated Oct. 29.

"I acted entirely inappropriately by kicking you, giving vent to a thoughtless knee-jerk political reaction that should never have happened," she wrote.

Of course Maria kicked out impulsively. She's afraid that a Kerry defeat may mean some kind of limits on the torrent of taxpayer cash currently flowing out to cover the illegals' cozy ride on the Free Medical Treatment gravy train.

Here's the course Spera teaches at Fort Lewis College.

Talk about the fox in the henhouse.

Any wonder this teacher went knee-jerk ballistic at the sight of that student's Republican sweat shirt?


Spanish for Medical Professionals

Day and Time: TBD

Cost: $150 Textbook cost has yet to be determined.

Course Description: This course is designed to help medical professionals communicate with their Spanish-speaking patients. You will learn vocabulary useful for diagnosing symptoms, names of parts of the body, ailments, and technical terms. You will also learn how to ask questions of the patients, how to answer patients’ questions and how to tell patients what to do [filling out those important forms insuring American taxpayers pay all med bills] , as well as what treatment is being done to them. The course will be tailored to the needs of the class participants. Some Spanish would be helpful prior to taking the course. Grammar will be introduced as needed.

Instructor: Maria Spero is a Visiting Instructor of Spanish in the Modern Languages Department at Fort Lewis College. A long-time instructor with the Extended Studies Program, Ms. Spero has been teaching for more than fourteen years and has led many travel study tours to Mexico and Honduras.

Thanks for the email link. My email (hehe...she'll probably "melt" when I asked the lord to have mercy on her soul!

Dear Ms. Spero:

I just read about you kicking a Ft. Hood student for wearing a republican sweatshirt. Isn't it the liberals who always preach opened mindedness, "choice" and tolerance. This is just another example of how hypocritial you all are. And what an example you are giving to our young men and women. Shame shame!!!! May the lord have mercy on your soul! Regards.

Had that been a male professor that kicked me I can assure you that the kick would have been returned.

That is assault

No, technically, it is battery. Assault is a swing and a miss. If you make contact, it is battery.

Liberals are totalitarians at heart who cannot stand opposing viewpoints. They say they oppose hate speech, yet they exemplify it. THANK GOD for our brilliant founding fathers who saw liberals like her coming and designed our consitution to protect OUR rights as well as theirs!

Ms. Spero needs to look deep in that open-minded, liberal, and tolerant heart of hers and realize she is not who she thinks she is.

She probably cuts the grade of conservative students who do not agree with her too.

The thing I don't understand about this story is why he didn't punch her back.

That's the only thing people like the teacher would understand.

Battery. Assault is the threat, battery the physical action.

Yep, and I will laugh all the way as they're put down, either by U.S. government or by us.

I got my ammo ready!
