Gentlemen, thank you again for your input.
To touch on a few things people have said:
I'm going to meet with him before I do anything.
I still don't believe, and a lot of you back me up, that I deserved that grade.
Regardless, if he insists on me rewriting it, fine. I suppose I will.
I guess. Or I might go to his superior. I still need to think it through.
I'll throw this out there for you people to chew on, since someone mentioned the Board of Regents.
The man I work for is on the California State University Board of Trustees. I go to California State University, Sacramento.
His father is a HUGE benefactor for my school. He just gave a collection of books to our school worth $7 million, and for our University's 50th anniversary, he chaired a committe to raise $50 million. He ended up raising $54 mil.
I am considering filing a formal complaint, not so much because of this essay, but because he uses the class as a platform to spout his political beliefs, among many other problems with him.
Some of you may have seen my past threads here about him and his class. He was, up until a short while ago, VERY fond of ranting on and on about the war in Iraq. (He is against it, need I say)
He made NO attempt whatsoever to relate it to race relations/ethnic studies.
Except for when he said that "part of the reason we justify bombing those people is because they are brown."
ANYHOW, given who I know, if I take this to the higher-ups, he's gonna lose and lose big.
