A part-time college instructor has apologized for kicking a student

File a police complaint and press charges. Give this idiot, a poor-excuse-for-an-intelligent-person, a record of having been charged and/or convicted of a violent crime.

Why stop at anything less? An apology doesn't cut it. Relish the university's indignant response when you press charges.

Again, reverse the positions. Can you imagine the outcry had a Republican teacher (I know, I know) kicked a student with a scumbag dem shirt. It'd be on the front page of the NYT! The guy would never teach again!! Disgraceful!!

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.

So have the parents filed Criminal Hate Assault charges against the "Teacher"?

Has the restaurant owner filed criminal charges against her for attacking one of his patron?

Has the whatever college initiated a conduct hearing and suspended the "teacher" for assaulting a student?The parents and the restaurant owner are likely to file charges but the college I doubt it will take any action at all -- claiming that it did not happen on college grounds so they don't have a dog in this fight is the most likely outcome.

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.

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

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

I hope this isn't the real headline. This grammer sucks.

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.

This happened off campus. The guy will survive .... So much ado about nothing as far as I'm concerned. Yep, she's a leftist loon who would be working the grill at Burger King if she didn't have this academia gig.

Wonder if she is an American citizen and eligible to vote. If not, was this her way of voting?

We need a new hate crime law - anyone who resorts to political criminal acts - their own voting right gets lifted.

No surprise here. Liberals feel, they don't think. The nutcase felt like kicking him, so she did. The feeling didn't pass through any ethical filter -- it translated into action instantaneously.
