 First, my words could never do professor Bonnell justice.  I sit here
 stunned at the prospect of his career being ended by an obvious dimwit
 that just didn't get it.  Talk about the "dubbing down of America"!  This is
 one of the worst cases I have ever seen!  If the lowest common
 denominator is allowed to remove Bonnell from the classroom, I will just
 shit!
 
 I had John Bonnell for two English courses back in the mid 1980's.  I am
 now working on my MA in Education at WSU.  I learned more from Bonnell
 than any 10 other professors combined.  The man is an outstanding
 teacher and intellect.  If I can teach half as well as Bonnell, I will be far
 above average.   I still visit him once every few years just to chat.   I hope I
 have a chance to take him for another class in the near future.
 
 It is a shame that someone as brilliant as John Bonnell can have his career
 jeopardized by a person who obviously doesn't belong in college.
 Perhaps the offended student should try truck driving school.  Wait...that
 statement was an insult and unnecessary.  I apologize...to the TRUCK
 DRIVERS!
 
 Good Luck John!
