Professor Tintiangco
told me and the rest of the class that I was possibly a physical threat
to the class and her. She told us during class time that she had
gone to her superiors to alert them. She then encouraged people in
the class to say how they felt that she went to her superiors about me,
the "problem" student. For the next class time, her boss, Marlon Hom came in the class
before it started and sat in
the corner at the rear of the room. He was not announced or
introduced; it was only after I got a death threat at the next class
session, that I realized who
he was, because he also sat in on that class. See, I had a little meeting with Hom and Dr. Almaguer
in
the Ethnic Studies Dept. just before noon that day. After class, I went by Mr. Hom on my way out of the classroom,
and told him that I had received a death threat before class started.
It was only as that class got going that I realized that he was the man who had sat in on the
class the previous time, and that he was also Mr. Hom, her boss who I had
just met earlier. Of course I was mad when the professor acted with malice
and slandered me the previous week, and when I was in the class knowing
that I was being watched by the professor's boss, I again felt the sting
of persecution. Before the death threat, I sat through two classes where the
feature of discussion was me. After the death threat, I firmly
told Dr. Reevis (not a part of the Ethnic Studies Dept.) that I did not want to be singled out in class again,
nor did I want to sit down face to face with Tintiango to try to get
things cleared up. I left my complaint with Dr. Reevis, and he
told me he would speak to Tintiangco. Targeting me in class was a
serious abuse of the power structure by Tintiangco. I never said any
thing that would lead a reasonable person to think that I was a threat
to them. I gave a different outlook on life, and the women in the
class who have obviously been coddled all their lives couldn't believe
that a man would actually hold his own when they spewed their
hate. I was the one who from day one said some people are quick
to blame others. See, on the first day everyone had to introduce
themselves (in a circle, of course). This one radical told us that she was in the class
because she was sick of living in a country dominated by white
men. When it got to me, I did not point out the radical feminazi or what she had
said, even though I was steamed; I only touched on her topic
by saying people should try to live in
harmony.

I never said
anything against any race in my class, and what got me in hot water was
simply mentioning understanding. Of course, I also flustered some
feathers when I said I didn't believe the guest lecturer's high
statistics for Pilipeano women who were made to be sex slaves in some
Japanese area. The guest only repeated herself and then Tintiangco
firmly said that I should be quiet. I committed a blunder - I
raised a question that didn't jive with the radical feminist's preconceived notions. White men, make sure if you are in her class
to not dare question a woman. No, no, women are always right, and
I have since come to realize that the women in ETHS 571 were probably in
that class to wallow in their victimhood. Why didn't someone warn
me?! Hell, why didn't they warn me in the college catalog that
this university was a nihilistic, Leftist haven. I am serious, I
had no idea. I heard plenty of Bolshevistic crap in my class about killing men, feeling rage against
men and white people, and whining from middle class women. Tintiangco
selected radical books and readings for us. There was no
balance. Everything was written by outright socialists and other
radicals. We read about how Republican men are some mysterious,
selfish group. We got to watch movies where white people were
blamed. We had to search the web in the library for sex sites or
other sites where women of color were presented in a way that would make
any good N.O.W. member rise up to march. |

She probably meets SFSU's university
standards, hehe, but surely her course is pretty lame. Suitable
for an underground, pagan group of disgruntled women, but not a course
that people should be forced into taking. It was one of the
choices from the four or
five ethnic studies classes that were listed as choices for the ethnic
studies requirement in my major. What
do you suppose the radical people of color would do if they were
required to take a class about some white ethnic group? Ever
notice how these ethnic studies departments on campuses are always for
certain racial groups?
We got to go listen to bell hooks spew her "white
supremacy" conceptions at an Associated Students event (only $5 if
you were in Tintiangco's class). bell hooks is the woman best known for
writing about her rage at white men and wanting to murder one. We
got to talk about our feelings while in a circle most every day, we were
only in groups a few times, thank God, and we wrote about our
feeeeelings most weeks. Also we got a week off from class.
The official reason was to have more time to work on our midterms or
some assignment. But I think that might have been when Tintiangco
was going on her trip to an Asian American conference in Canada. I
will have to check to see if that was likely the reason behind canceling
class for a week. Tintiangco made her midterm very hard. The
final paper was not bad, though. You got to pick your own topic,
and to dumb it all down and make us all equal, you were actually
encouraged to work in groups for the final project. Making a video
documentary was held up as a choice for a final project. She even
showed us one that her students had made for an example.
Amateur!

Tintiango sees any white man who disagrees
with her agenda as her enemy. I am an open-minded person, and that
can be your downfall in her class. Things would have stayed bad if
I hadn't stood up for myself and complained about her. Isn't that
a shame at SFSU? They constantly talk about how women, gays, and
people of color are kept down, but when it comes to just treating a
white, conservative man with respect and common decency, a sudden wall
goes up. Shut him down! Try to get rid of him! How
dare he?! Did he just point out something that I had never
considered?! Get him out of here!
