Metro State clears teacher in Palin essay flap : Updates : The Rocky Mountain News

Metro State clears teacher in Palin essay flap : Updates : The Rocky Mountain News: "A special investigation of part-time Metropolitan State College instructor Andrew Hallam has determined that he had not violated any college policies in assigning an essay on Republican vice president nominee Sarah Palin to one of his English classes.

'The investigation concluded that Hallam must learn to curb the use of vulgar language in class, and that the introduction of controversial topics must have a substantial relationship with the subject of the class,' according to a news bulletin released by the college Tuesday.

'While discipline is not warranted, appropriate mentoring is recommended.'"

So, maybe he can do a little less swearing while he uses his English class as a forum for his lefty politics? That's it? The essay assignment in question, that was OK with the college after all: "He allegedly told them to write an essay that would contradict "the fairy tale image of Palin" as presented at the Republican National Convention."
