Student Threatened for Recording Teacher Who Called Trump’s Election an “Act of Terror”

Sure, it’s irritating to pay good money for a college education and instead be subjected to unhinged political rants. Sure, Orange Coast College “human sexuality teacher” Olga Perez Stable Cox did go completely off the rails when she denounced Trump voters to her students and proclaimed his election to be “an act of terrorism.” Sure, she was caught in the act of ramming her belligerent views down the throats of intimidated students when one of them recorded her with his phone. But isn’t it going a little too far to talk about legal action?

Wait a minute. It isn’t Ms. Perez Unstable Cox who is in trouble. It’s the student who recorded her:

“At this point it’s not even education anymore, its indoctrination,” said Josh Recalde-Martinez, a member of the school’s Young Republicans Club. …

Recalde-Martinez posted the teacher’s rant on his Facebook page. …

Thursday night, the professor’s union posted a warning on its page. It condemned the student who recorded the video saying, “This is an illegal recording without the permission of the instructor. The student will be identified and may be facing legal action.”

“They wanted it to be known so that maybe we would get scared and take down the video. But to the union I want to say we are not gonna be doing that,” said Recalde-Martinez.

Fortunately, he has a lawyer. Republican National Committeeman Shawn Steel has volunteered to represent him.

“Every student knows it. If you stand up to your professor, 90 percent of the time the professor’s going to punish you,” said Steel.

Hats off to students who push back anyway.
