Witch hunt continues
against dedicated
English teacher
I have had the privilege to be in
professor John Bonnell's English
class. He's a dedicated, passionate
teacher with a dramatic flare and
one of the most gentle persons
I've even had the good fortune to
know.
It seems the witch hunters are rampant
again. I've heard worse
language from elementary school
children passing my window on their
way to school.
Bonnell's language was in context
with his teaching. It did not offend
me or anyone else in the class.
There was no hostile environment.
It was a difficult class, but I
learned how to probe deeper into books I
had to read. He showed us how to
understand the depths of the
written word and to dig into the
content and better understand the
author's works.
I believe a great injustice is being
perpetrated on a man who has
dedicated his life to teaching.
He does not swear at his students.
That is the twisted viewpoint of the
narrow-minded. He is the finest
teacher I ever had.
