Dear Professor:
Fail him. Give him a zero. Talk to your colleagues and ensure that he is never given an opportunity to teach anywhere, at any level.
Remember what Comrade Lenin said in a similiar situation, “We’ll respond to Kerinsky, he’ll respond to us, this kind of thing can have no end. Denounce him as an enemy of the people and be done with it.”
Best to strangle this kind of disease in the crib. You absolutely cannot afford to allow a heretic into the ranks of academia at any level. Tell the little snot to get a radio show like Rush Limbaugh.
Sincerely,
Your Pal, LiM
Dear Prof., resign your tenured position in favor of a minority.
Probably what upset the prof the most was the quote from Ayn Rand. The collectivists hate her sense of individuality and free thinking.
Notice how the this student is not succumbing to the prof’s group think. The issue for the prof is not whether the student states his case well, it is whether it is in sync with the collectivist world view.
Hence the process is not education, it is indoctrination.
