James Bell // Personal Blog

interesting one, to say where i found this would suggest i was really bored / looking at blogs of people you wouldnt expect to find me looking at, anyway.. point is, i found this interesting..

student at marquette university (somewhere in milwaukee, USA), as students do, wrote all his views as a way of blowing off steam and stress, pressure and anxiety etc, obviously sometimes comments are based on current mood &or heat of the moment etc. stuff is also obviously hyperbole (saying people have the intelligence of a 3yr old ..)

anyway, he was suspended (yes kicked out of the university, for expressing his personal opinions in a private manner (his own blog) about students, the course and his lecturers (or academics as they prefer to be known, in the same way that postman = Communications Technician, lecturer/teacher apparently = Academic . questionable.)

link here, student lost a minimum of a year of his life(no more uni), his scholarship and was told to formally apologise to all concerned (he hadn’t named anyone in the post.)

and i though the english were stupid (dont arrest me for saying that, please).
