OCC student suspended after filming teacher saying Trump's election was 'an act of terrorism'

COSTA MESA – An Orange Coast College student who secretly videotaped his instructor making anti-Trump statements was suspended from school and told to write a letter of apology as well as a three-page essay about the incident.

The college suspended Caleb O’Neil for the current semester and the summer term, saying he violated a Coast Community College District policy prohibiting recording someone on district property without that person’s consent.

“It is my hope that this experience will lead you to truly think through your actions and the consequences of those actions when making decisions in the future,” Victoria Lugo, interim dean of students, wrote in a Feb. 9 letter to O’Neil, whose video clips of instructor Olga Perez Stable Cox in December went viral.

When I was in College, I, along with other students taped our professors lectures and instructions. I could not take notes fast enough to take in everything that was said that would end up in a future exam. I would later listen to this over and over again until it made sense to me. I was taking a certification class in I.T. I paid out of pocket for it, so I wanted to make sure I was getting everything I was paying for. This is nothing new and most students record their teachers lectures.

2:04 Fear, Hatred and Anger are the weakest emotions and easily overcome. If you let them grow it tells me a lot about you. Lies and divide, I dont know what you are talking about. The only division I see is the division being pushed by MSM and the left. As for lies, the world is more full of lies than it is truths. Learn how to distinguish between the two. You are a weak human being and a basic bitch. Get some help.

By the same token, a person video recording a rape or murder in progress on campus (without the assailant's permission) could be suspended under the same rules. This might also apply to the college's security cameras all over campus, which capture thousands of student activities every day, 24/7.

You have the right to a opinion and I do too. If that is what he is doing I am darn happy with it. Haven't you noticed all the good people you see during the course of a day. Different isn't it, folks are smiling like a jackass eating briers. Happy, happy, happy.
