It's the holiday season and what better way to celebrate than with angry e-mails cluttering the San Diego Community College District distribution list.
The President of the Miramar College Associated Students, Bryan Hughs, has started another round of e-mails, this time announcing his resignation.
Hughs found it necessary to send e-mails to every person on the District list (about 5,000 employees).
He suggests that Miramar should find a Dean of Student Affairs that "knows how what they are (sic) doing when it comes to student government, politics and friendship."
Hughs goes on to say that the Vice President of Student Services needs a backbone and should come to an Associated Student meeting occasionally.
The rant seems pointless until he gets to what seems to be his real reason for resigning.
"If you actually get a survey and/or self test done, do not be surprised to find that we have about a 20-1 liberal to conservative imbalance," said Hughs. "This is not a professional education."
Someone should tell him that just because everyone doesn't share his political views, doesn't make them less able to give the same standard of education.
He further insults the teaching staff by adding "…many of the hippies you baby-boomers went to school with are now teaching the youth of America thier (sic)…bullshit." Hey, Hughs, try spelling correctly while insulting someone else's intelligence.
The teaching staff at Miramar can't be that bad considering Hughs dedicates the majority of the e-mail to thanking the 16 faculty members that he actually liked (I'm sure the District DL really cares which faculty members former President Hughs prefers).
This resignation is nothing more than a bitter student trying to bring down everyone who doesn't share his political beliefs.
The dispute began when Hughs sent an equally ignorant email when he couldn't find enough conservative scholars to participate in a debate over politics.

Let me start out with the questions "how is liberal anti-American". Liberal does not equate to anti-American. What does equate to anti-American is teaching that America is to blame for 9/11, among other things. (Continued…)
