Not only should the professor be barred from any and all educational careers in the future, but the college where she teaches should be held accountable for this nonsense too. And her own college, the one that granted her teaching credentials however many years ago, should also be investigated.

IMO there needs to be an "Educator Code of Ethics" or something, kinda like physicians' Hippocratic Oath, which insists educators cannot be ideologues.

Agreed. Education has slid to a point where I consider most PhDs (esp. in social "science") to be a mark of lower intelligence.

I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but I will say if it's the mark of anything, then it's the mark of someone who probably couldn't cut it in the hard sciences. The soft sciences are all based on speculation and wishy-washy testimonial evidence which means defending a PhD thesis is gonna be a cake-walk compared to the hard sciences.

They did away with the Hippocratic oath in medical schools.
