Hat tip The Red Elephants
It seems that the campus war on "whiteness" has reached a new low. At California's Diablo Valley College, political science professor Albert Ponce has taken this war into his classroom, power point visuals and all and called for the overthrow of what he calls "white racist America". A student videotaped Ponce in class and sent it in to the Red Elephants. That video is in the below link.

Here is Ponce's Rate my Professors page, in which students express their opinions of him both positive and negative.
It is bad enough that these radical professors, of whom there are many thousands across the country, spout this stuff on their private social media or even during (outside the classroom) campus events. This was said in the classroom. This is why when I was teaching, I never took my personal political views into the classroom.
I am not saying that teachers should go into class and spread a "Springtime in America" message, but it is clear that Ponce has a very destructive agenda. Is it free speech? Sure. I am not arguing that the Gestapo should drag him out of class and throw him in jail. I do think, however, that Diablo Valley College should watch this video and ask themselves if this is a proper use of a teacher's classroom time. Is this really what they want to teach our kids?
