Offensive Penn State Video

Everyone knows how much our nation’s “institutes of higher education” treat our military. They denigrate us and fail to accurately capture our contributions to this nation. I’m currently taking Western Civilization and our book was rereleased in 2008, so it contains a chapter about the Iraq War. Naturally, it’s a completely skewed and tunnel-visioned few and uses the term “occupation” more times than probably necessary. So, it’s isn’t a surprise that this is the kind of veteran that is portrayed to educators to teach them how to deal with combat veterans:

Garbage! Utter garbage. Once again, our liberal educational system is poking its protectors in the eye!

    I saw the video when it was still up on their site. It didn’t take them long to pull it when the emails started pouring in. It really is disgusting. My son took classes when he came back from his first tour… is this the kind of prejudice he can expect from these institutions? Sick.

    I could be wrong here, but if the guy had indicated that he tried what the teacher had suggested, he might have more to stand on. His constant insisting that he deserved a better grade without substatiation didn’t exactly do it for me. Her suggestion to have someone review it didn’t seem to tickle his fancy and made him clearly adgitated.
    Sorry folks. You don’t get a grade by just going in a demanding it. Ending the conversation by a threat only makes it worse.

    NY David, you are kidding right? Do think this is real? It’s a made up drama movie. That’s the whole point. Why would Penn State portray this “ex-military” person in this way? ITS A TRAINING VIDEO SET UP TO MAKE THE VETERAN APPEAR AS A THREAT…

    The university people in their cloistered environment have a crazy irrational fear of a war veterans. Don’t let them get you spun up, just smile and know that their world is unreal, but you have learned things they will never understand.

    NY David…I am sorry but you appear to be the most negative commentor I have ever seen. Why? Are you working for someone that your sole purpose is to stir up emotions?
