She complained against Patricia Dyjak claiming her teaching material had alienated "mainstream" students at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point She is pursing a BA and said Patricia "swung the pendulum far to the side of the LGBT students while she, the "mature" student got an F grade in the class. She also said her failing grade was the result of "capricious retaliation" after she complained to her about the lgbt content and the professor's behaviour toward students. A county judge dismissed the case, but Donna is still pursuing an appeal as she won't let this go. She wanted to study classic poetry in the course but got a different syllabus than she expected. She said "For the reading material in this court, Ms Dyjak chose 5 poetry textbooks which focused on lesbians, illicit sexual relationships, incest and frequent swearing. A rational person would surmise these textbook choices to be myopically degrading and insulting to the intelligence of university students who would have greatly benefited from a balanced study of poets" Donna said by focusing on LGBT works, Dyjak chose to discount the importance and the validity of the mainstream student population Not only does Donna demand an A, but wants Dyjak to be suspended or a year WITHOUT pay and REMOVED from the university entirely!! Do you think 57 is too old to be getting a Bachelor's Degree? let's see what people think Patricia - Teacher http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/06/09/16/4149121A00000578-4589020-image-a-70_1497023021536.jpg School - http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/06/09/16/4148E58D00000578-4589020-image-a-71_1497023024977.jpg --- call me mrduckbear, sweater monkeys.

A county judge dismissed the case, but Donna is still pursuing an appeal as she won't let this go. Sounds like religious discrimination, which too my knowledge violates the Civil Rights Act. Donna should win and the bigot judge should be sacked. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I just want to see this old ladies work tbh. I have a hard time imagining it was any good nor that it was worthy of an F. Though I also have a hard time imagining someone seeing the syllabus on the first day, not liking the content, and then proceeding to take the course and just complain.
This story is full of crap I don't understand. The instructor does kind of sound like an annoying left winger, but the old lady also sounds like an annoying right winger. I mean, how do you fail this type of class unless you just didn't turn your work in? Or your work would have to be complete and utter crap. Critiquing writing is a somewhat subjective thing and you could argue for the difference between an A and a B, but outright failing someone? Like WTF. The instructor has the right to influence the course material to a significant degree and the old lady has the right to take or not take the class. My gut tells me the instructor had crappy content for her course, but the old lady is way more dumb for a much longer list of reasons. --- just tell them all your base doesn't belong to us because we were getting stoned...they'll understand-Ken156 ...

And here's where you take note of the fact that TC's heavily edited post only shows one side of the story. And after you do that you dig deep into your well of knowledge and recall all the instances that students get failing grades not because their work is atrocious, but because they disagree with the teacher. After you've done all of those things, you approach TC's article like a rational individual and decide to stop posting due to being embarrassingly reactionary. --- You've fought the strongest, the second strongest, the fourth strongest, and the weakest master!

She a 59 year old woman she's from a different era. So it's easy as to why she would find the whole lgbt repulsive and wrong. Was she's wrong sure but the teacher here is also wrong grading students based on her personal feelings on lgbt are all the colleges like this now a day? SJW running the place now?
