Professor, Joe Borelli: Appalled that CUNY teaching anti-Trump propaganda

Here (above) is a picture of the email blast that was sent out, a copy of one of the starkly unacademic items on the “reading list” which claims Trump is worse than Hitler. (Another claimed his supporters were “armed racists”) and my letter to the CUNY chancellor demanding clarification of whether it meets policy.

Guess what I did last night? I taught the lesson and used it as a teachable moment to talk about discourse. Frankly speaking, my best students are those who are liberal, informed and unafraid to come at me and challenge what I am saying as a conservative. They usually get the highest grades because of their involvement in the lessons. Diversity of thought should work two ways. Someone should tell CUNY. I know I am trying to.

I know some of my students follow me, perhaps they can chime in on our debates.
