Palin-bashing arrives on campus

[OneNewsNow] 22 Sep 2008--A college student in Denver is creating a stir after notifying the media that her English professor gave her classmates an anti-Sarah Palin writing assignment.

Janna Barber is a student at Metro State College in Denver, Colorado, where she attends an English class taught by Andrew Hallam -- who she describes as a "self-styled liberal Bush basher." The controversy began when Hallam gave an assignment that directed his students to write an essay contradicting what he called the "fairy tale image" of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Furthermore, according to Barber, Hallam asked Republican students to identify themselves, and then he sat back and laughed while other students ridiculed them and shouted four-letter obscenities.

This upset Barber, who filed a complaint with the school and brought the matter to the attention of the local CBS affiliate. Since then she has appeared on Fox News and the O'Reilly Factor.
