Sentinel Question: Refund for Linda Cook?
The North Idaho College Sentinel has a current poll asking students whether NIC did the right thing in granting a refund to former English student Linda Cook. Cook, as you may recall, created a hubbub when she demanded a refund b/c teacher Jessica ??? sniped at Republicans too much during class time. Cook is a former aide to the late congressman Helen Chenoweth-Hage. So what do you think:
*Yes, the college did the right thing by refunding the money because an English teacher shouldn’t be forcing her political views on students.
*No, the college acted improperly and undercut the teacher. A college teacher should have the academic freedom to say what she wants.
