Serious ethical and possible legal breach if she does it without the instructor's consent. No different than recording a concert without consent.

Just curious. Would you have a problem with one of your students recording you during class?

I would also assert that if someone were to call me a Nazi, or say that because I voted for a Republican I am a Nazi, then I would feel no shame in beating that person into a bloody pulp...:|

hear me now ....believe me later



This is a surprisingly unconcealed threat against another person.

so you've got a quote that you've latched onto there. problem is: the historical circumstances of pre-ww2 germany and the historical circumstances of america post 9-11 aren't the same. your comparison is therefore invalid in my opinion and furthermore, i think that you're kinda out-to-lunch in your conclusion drawing about sociology and politics. but, don't get all worked up; i'm just a war mongering nazi out to make the world just like me after all. ;)

Not if they ask first. I have several students recording in my freshman class this semester.

NO its a statement of how it makes me feel as I have been accused of being a Nazi for my appearance...



While it IS a statement of your feelings, it's ALSO clearly a threat of physical violence.

Quote

with that being said, do you have a problem with my lack of tolerance in the use of that fucking word?



Yes, if your intolerance is so powerful that it causes you to threaten (or inflict) physical violence.

Get a hold of yourself.

It allows me to express the red-neck in me combined with my desire to enslave, rape and pillage.

I recently combined country line dancing with goose-stepping. It's actually really cool. It allows me to express the red-neck in me combined with my desire to enslave, rape and pillage. ;)



Now that was funny!

Amazon, is it that time of the month?!?:P

Another wonderful example of bypassing the substance for the semantics.
People who agree will say: "Free Speech!"
People who disagree will say: "Indoctrinating our Youth!"
Undoubtedly, you will see pages of this crap go back and forth with out a single mention of how good of a teacher is this guy or is he trying to stimulate people into actually _using_ their brains. Nope, forget that.
"Free Speech!"
"Indoctrinating our youth!"



The guy is a Geography teacher. And he flat fucking lied as to what Bush said in his speech.

He is an ass hat and should be fired!!

The teacher's lawyer was on Fox, he said knowledge by one party is all that's required in Colorado. It was a non-issue to him, he wasn't pursuing the case in that direction.
People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Anything is possible.... but obviously the students were upset over SOMEthing that was said.



A student.... one... who recorded him because the teacher does not suscribe to his particular viewpoint. I listened to the student this morning on Fox News..

Kinda reminded me of how the students were required to report on thier teachers in 1930's Germany..



BWAAAHAHAHA! :D never fails...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law



Doesn't apply. Godwin's law refers to the first comparison with Hitler or Nazis in a discussion thread. Since the thread itself began by commenting on such a comparison subsequent references are moot.

I have two things to say about this. First, high school students are far from mindless zombies that we have to protect from teachers who express strong opinions, even such objectional opinions as were on that tape.

Second, in America there is no inherent right to not be offended. That's the beauty of our country and it should be celebrated by all. Otherwise, we become no better than the people who burned those Danish embassies.

I can find no such evidence in Godwin's Law. Godwin's Law simply states that once the reference is made, the "usefullness" of the thread is over and whomever made the comparison has lost the argument. To continue after the invocation of Godwins Law is effectively the same thing as fucking dead sheep.

edited to add: I have emailed Mike Godwin regarding your claim and will report once I have his decision.

Godwin's email address is no longer valid. Here's some additional laws to consider.

The Wilcox/McCandlish Law Of Online Discourse Evolution (and Corollaries)


THE WILCOX/MCCANDLISH LAW OF ONLINE DISCOURSE EVOLUTION


The chance of success of any attempt to change the topic or direction of
a thread of discussion in a networked forum is directly proportional to
the quality of the current content.


MCCANDLISH'S FIRST COROLLARY TO THE WILCOX/MCCANDLISH LAW


The chance of any change to the topic or direction of a thread being a
change for the better is inversely proportional to the quality of the
content before the change.


THE EXCEPTION TO MCCANDLISH'S FIRST COROLLARY


When a thread reaches the flame-war stage, all changes in thread topic
or direction will be changes for the worse.


MCCANDLISH'S SECOND COROLLARY TO THE WILCOX/MCCANDLISH LAW


Thread bandwidth consumption increases in inverse proportion to thread
content quality.


WILCOX'S COROLLARY TO THE WILCOX/MCCANDLISH LAW


The more involved one is in a flame-war, the less likely one is to
recognize it as such.


THE WILCOX/MCCANDLISH PARADOX


Thread degeneration can (theoretically) be forestalled or even reversed
by citation to the Wilcox/McCandlish Law.


BENFORD'S LAW OF CONTROVERSY


Passion is inversely proportional to the amount of real information
available.
- Gregory Benford, 1980.


SIEGFRIED'S FIRST COROLLARY TO THE WILCOX/MCCANDLISH LAW


Flaming first just means that you haven't realized yet that you're waaaay
behind on points.


SIEGFRIED'S SECOND COROLLARY TO THE WILCOX/MCCANDLISH LAW


Not responding to a flame is the ultimate counter-attack.

Your going skydiving kinda reminds me of how paratroopers in WWII were required to jump out of planes into enemy territory to fight or die for victory...



The GI's VOLUNTEERED to jump out of planes in WW II

I did the same 30 some odd years later.

Far different from your analogy.




How is it that something so easily passes right over the head of one so tall? :S


Of course my analogy was way off. It was to illustrate how off YOUR comparison was, between this kid complaining about the teacher and kids being obligated to do the same under Hitler.

Geeeez...

I guess it's just time for me to stop tryin', with you.
