An Iowa State University instructor’s syllabus warned students that anti-Black Lives Matter and pro-life viewpoints are “grounds for dismissal.”
Instructor Chloe Clark’s English 250 syllabus includes a “giant warning” advising students that only certain views would be permitted during her classes. “I take this seriously,” she notes at the end of the warning. “Any instances of othering that you participate in intentionally (racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, sorophobia, transphobia, classism, mocking of mental health issues, body shaming, etc.) in class are grounds for dismissal from the classroom,” Clark wrote in the syllabus, a copy of which was provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation by the Young America’s Foundation (YAF).

The instructor should be sent to mandatory sensitivity training.

Open threats like this need to be met with a serious response.
Don't let the University Administration tone her down and let her off the hook. This fascist hate filled woman must be terminated from her position at the university.

If any federal funds flow to this university they should be immediately rescinded, and any student abused by this progtard prof should sue them into oblivion!

For those wondering (like me) "sorophobia" apparently is a misspelling of "serophobia" which is a supposedly irrational fear of people with contagious diseases, primarily AIDS, I suspect.
I'd could sit in the front row and hack up a lung from my allergies and tell her it's TB and Covid, just to see.

I wonder if she'd let me read my limerick:
The debt for what black slav'ry built
Was paid in white blood that was spilt
So spare me your chatter
About black lives matter
'Cause I don't have white lib'ral guilt

I am SO glad my son went for STEM and avoided taking courses like this, taught by narrow-minded intolerant nincompoops. When he graduates he has a career in energy development ahead of him. But when this fool's student's graduate, they'll be serving fries or slinging coffee at Starbucks.....serving my son.

In other words, she does not believe in critical thinking skills. Either parrot back to her what she thinks or fail. Gotcha! Fire her immediately!

I'll give Iowa undergrads a warning - try to avoid English instructors who can't spell. Serophobia is a fear of people with HIV. I am not sure what "sorophobia" is. Maybe a fear of George Soros?

What the Iowa do any of those things have to do with learning English?
Would sharing a desire that everybody in the country learn English be considered racism?
If I were enrolled in that class, I'd be tempted to write in large red letters "This is Racist -- Your own Rule Dismisses You" across the syllabus in question, and hand it in on my way to the Registrar's Office to drop the class.

Fine- students can play the game.. we have been since I was in college 30 years ago..
Do a report on Margaret Sanger
On the BLM leaders
On Antifa..
Just facts, expose - no opinion..
On planned parenthood.. on eugenics- on funding
Chances- truth isn’t objective, nor a well written paper.. lockstep mind numb robot repeating Marxist tripe.

If a so called "instructor" at a major university can openly declare such bias, intolerance, dishonesty, and, frankly, stupidity, then the battle is almost lost before it begins. This imbecile must have been raised in a clogged toilet to get away with such outlandish moronic points in her class syllabus. And the university that supports and defends this idiocy is as useless as chop sticks in the soup line. Is it any wonder that the democrats are calling to defund the police while they also want the public to TURN IN THEIR GUNS to cut down on gun violence in the city (Philadelphia).

I think such a syllabus presented to the students is grounds for dismissal, tenure ornot.

I am confused. I think gay men should have the same rights I do. If they want to marry a woman I'm cool with that if the woman is. At the same time I don't think I should be allowed to marry a man and I'd apply that same standard to a gay man. Where is the discrimination in that? Where is the "othering"? On the other hand I think a fetus has the same right to live that I do, but this professor seems to find that not merely odd but evil. She seems to be the one denying the "other" the same rights she would demand for herself.

I thought that sorophobia might be fear of lesbians. Soror from the Latin meaning sister, as in sorority.

If this isn't used in a campaign commercial......when you realize the current list only has certain views, but who's to say this list doesn't quickly grow into a larger list?
FTA; Instructor Chloe Clark’s English 250 syllabus includes a “giant warning” advising students that --------- only certain views would be permitted during her classes.
A new consideration should be "diversity of opinion and views" on college campuses, and ensure faculty, administration and staff reflect a broad, diverse group of ideas and opinions.
My wife worked at a university for 30 years, and I attended a number of functions where the faculty, in particular, felt very comfortable spewing all sorts of hate with no one countering their comments.

#21, I have a view on the matter of tenure, please correct me if I missed something. As I understand tenure was implemented to allow the free discussion of what may be unpopular option within the context of rational learning.
First, I am amazed I got that into a sentence. Next, Tenure was to expand the mind without fear.
This person's grant of tenure does *not* allow her to *limit* the thoughts of her students. No. The exact opposite is the entire reason. Expand your knowledge without fear of reprisal.
Someone missed the point. As to 'protection' I have just laid out the case to where this is not an item covered under the concept of tenure.
I'd also like to ask, why is it English profs keep going off the deep end? Mizzu @Columbia loud moth 'beat these guys up'(BTW she is now teaching at Gonzaga in Washington State..keep an eye out for her), UNoDak English prof causing grief in a small campus, and now this example of no job market for English majors.
I would like to note that all three of these examples happen to be born female. Don't know if it is relevant, but facts are facts.

Fire her? My Marine instructor taught me that Communists only stop when shot in the head or vaporized. That may sound extreme but this country will not be preserved by simply firing its existential enemies.

This instructor seems to be the Queen of Othering. It is a class on communication, but you are not allowed to communicate any views except what the left says is politically correct. How can one talk about monsters and isolating and controlling others without mentioning the tactics of the left? Black Lives Matter is nothing but a rhetoric of violence.... do as we say or we will burn, loot and commit violence against you. It's unbelievable that in a communications class taught to young impressionable minds only one viewpoint is acceptable. No other beliefs are tolerated, or you will fail the class.

Merriam-Webster's site says, "The use of other as a verb is rooted in sociology: to other a certain culture or individual is to treat that culture as fundamentally different from another class of individuals, often by emphasizing its apartness in traits that differ from one's own."
As an English teacher, she must be aware of that definition, right?
Since some cultures, not to mention individuals, are in fact fundamentally different from others [my Berkeley Anthropology degree allows me to claim that], where's the rub?!
How is that 'embracing diversity'?
Idiot.

Oh to be a student in Chloe Clark's English 250 class. Othering, my self; get that outa here! Who is she to define the in-group? The students should dismiss her on day one, and show her what it feels like to be in the out-group--that group that thinks it's entitled to tell others what they can and can't say. And notice how she didn't lose her job, imagine if a conservative did what she did.

Why is this kind of censorship allowed in state funded schools? Why doesn't the legislature crack down on this abuse of free speech andctjought. And what do any of these have to do with English classes anyway??

Every true Christian believer ought to insist that being pro-life is a part of their faith and the first Amendment supports his/her belief in pro-life and the right to say it. If this idiot tries to expel him/her, a challenge ought to be made as this is extremely biased behavior based upon hatred.

According to an article today, Chloe has been required to change her syllabus to conform to the University's free speech policies. She has also been "re-educated" by U of I about the content of the First Amendment.
