You sir are an idiot!

You can't.
The polls are private.

Sheesh.

Didn't like the other two threads on this topic (from 5 months ago)?

She should lose her job.

College profs have average IQs of about 130, so she was just guiding them with her natural ability.

from the actual college Report

All students in the five math classes that she was teaching at the time were contacted and
asked to participate in a voluntary written survey regarding the incident and her actions in
class. Some 43 of the 85 students enrolled agreed to participate.

someone overreacted by a mile.

???? i think you read that the wrong way, It says Half agreed to take a survey on the incidents themselves, not half agreed to take the pledge itself.

If that was the case, you really wouldnt have an argument seeing as it would have been voluntary.( which the College report says it was)

my point is that only half of the kids cared enough to even take a survey on the class.

O.K. I still don't see where it's something that one should even ask a student to do voluntarily. I think "firing" someone over something like this is an over reaction as we all on occasion do things without thinking them through and this certainly rises above buying yourself a 60 inch television when you live in a small apartment, but IMO a warning of some sort should suffice.

The first time.
