Professor Keeps Calling on Student With Problematic Takes

This past Tuesday, political science professor Gerald Wasiewicz provided a platform for a student that has never contributed anything to class besides making everyone extremely uncomfortable. According to students enrolled in the course, this finally proves that Professor Wasiewicz has learned nothing from the cacophony of collective groans, laptops slamming shut, and students slouching down that happen every time he provides that student a chance to speak.

The incident, which occurred five minutes into a lecture on immigration policy, was completely unprompted, as Dr. Wasiewicz was not openly soliciting questions. Nonetheless, the student was called on when he raised his hand, allowing him to enlighten the class on how their tax money was being spent on “people who aren’t even Americans” and who “should’ve come here the right way.” It is unclear if the student was aware that this take was at odds with one he gave the previous week, where he stated his support for giving “as much money as it takes” for Israel to establish new Palestine-facing defense systems.

When reached for comment, Dr. Wasiewicz, who is known for saying “interesting point, I hadn’t thought of that before” no matter how insensitive the viewpoint being expressed  is, defended his dedication to sharing all opinions at the expense of being a good instructor. “Yes, I know this student completely stalls the learning of everyone in the section. However, I just want to be as supportive of free speech as possible and make sure this student is prepared for a career sharing his thoughts and degrading others.”
