I guess the teacher was having a real bad day and wanted to flex some power, in what will end up costing her her job. Good work!

Putting your feet up is pretty uncivil. Would have just lowered her grade though.

I'm surprised the police responded at all to something so trivial. I wonder what she even told them to get them to come

That one girl furiously texting with earbuds annoyed me, you're in class for a reason -_-

To be fair, that doesn't bother anyone. Getting annoyed at that seems petty (if they're going to waste time in class, that's on them; you're free to ignore any pleas for information after the fact, though).

Once I stormed out of a class because someone told me to stop playing PSP.

Fuck that, no one tells me what to do.

Once in fourth grade, I was bored and put my feet and legs INSIDE my desk (it was one of those that's like a kinda rounded metal box with legs). I was in the back so my teacher didn't notice, then another teacher came in and (the teacher whose class it was had her desk set up at the back end of the classroom, opposite the end the door was on, so I was actually near the 'front' of the room) and saw me. All I had to do was an extra chapter worth of homework.

Now black people have the police called on them for putting their feet up. And so few people seem to see how horrible this is. This lady called the fucking cops on that, the girl in question could have been killed.

Apurva Rawal, a student who filmed the interaction, described what happened in a series of tweets: The student, who was not talking or interrupting the lecture, had her feet up on the seat in front of her, he said. Moss, who took issue with this, stepped out to call the campus police, Rawal said. Moss had just lectured the class on how they were uncivil because some students were on their phones and not paying attention, Rawal said.


So the professor is super passive aggressive. Didn't even have the balls to take control of the class and direct the kids to put their phones away and the girl to get her feet off the seat. That being said, I don't feel bad at all for the girl, get your feet off the seat.

Why feel sorry at all? Black people getting arrested at the drop of the hat without warning is just a routine thing for black people. Might as well whine about the weather.

Professors don't care about those anyways. I took a course where the professor was reviewed very poorly, and in sometime during the first week he had pulled the page up on the projector, told the class that everything written was true, and then he mocked the people that were whining. He even had a sideshow prepped that was a story of a student whining about his grades.

I'm not sure if their attendance numbers suffer overall because most students are clueless, but I (along with many people I've encountered) definitely avoided professors with an overwhelmingly low score.

For lower level coursework it's definitely easy to pick and choose.

Well, when it's the only professor that's teaching that course...

And I'm not sure if they necessarily care about attendance that much. When I was on community College the professors there did care about attendance. They'd always take roll and they'd always deduct points if you weren't in class or if you were late. But once I transferred to university they didn't seem to care as much after the first week once the roster was finalized.

Yeah that happens a lot with higher level coursework unfortunately.

It helps if your college is a bit larger so there's a bigger pool to choose from.

I hate that every dumb incident against a black person is treated as racist. Sometimes it is but every single article and incident it always comes up.

It could be but frankly it just as likely if not moreso could be just the Professor is a grade A bitch(seems to be a lot of professors have a syllabus stuck up their ass...)

Believe me people can be hateful arrogant fucks without racism. I work in the service industry and have the same skin tone as Casper the friendly ghost...

You don't feel bad for the girl. Well maybe next time you cuss or hell break the TOS, someone should call the police on you have you taken away in handcuffs .

I'm not sure if race has anything to do with this particular situation, but it seems like there has been recent history of staff having that issue according to the article. However the teacher wasted time and money stopping the class to call the police and have someone removed for something so petty. All she had to do was ask her to put her feet down.

Campus police should have only been called after at least an exchange of "get your feet off that seat please" "no" "this is my classroom, you will sit normally or you will leave" "no" or something close.

Just a thought here...

Wouldn't the police greatly improve their image if they didn't react like a bully given free pass to do whatever they want every time a random bigot calls them?

If a bigoted "teacher" calls the cops on some kid for resting her feet on a chair without causing any disturbance, couldn't the cops just tell the "teacher" "Ma'am, this is not really something you call the police for. That student may need to get disciplined, but not by us, try calling the principal please" and leaving?

Instead their reaction is "HURR DURR! U CALL COPS ON GIRL, HULK SMASH GIRL!". (I know there was no actual smashing, BTW, but they did escort her out, and there WOULD have been smashing had she resisted).

What happens when the cops are called on someone because that someone laughed or even sneezed during class HULK SMASH too? It sounds silly, but again, apparently even having your feet on the chair is HULK SMASH worthy for these guys.

This reminds me of Dr. David Dao and United Airlines.

He paid a ticket for his seat, he made it to his seat on time, he did nothing wrong. United tried booting him off for no reason at all and called the cops on him.

The cops instantly went like "U CALL COPS ON TINY ASIAN MAN, HULK SMASH TINY ASIAN MAN!!"

This is yet another case where the cops could have showed up, realized that this is a customer service/company issue and simply left. But hey, Hulk wanna smash!

I can only assume she called the police because she had limited options on what she could actually do to address inappropriate behavior from her students. But then, I don't know what means professors have to reprimand uncivil students.

That this incident occurred after she chided the class for behaving in an uncivil, disrespectful way, I doubt this was an isolated incident.

Maybe the students should show a little decorum.

The girl was causing a problem in class and needed to be separated from that environment to avoid escalation quickly and quietly. It was an incredibly stupid situation and I hope the university looks into it, but faulting campus security for doing their job is silly. It isnt their job to debate whether it would be fair to accuse her of trespassing, because thats at the professors discretion.
