Mr. Peeps. Why must you make insinuations? If you believe I am a racist, come out and say it. I will tell you I am not a racist. I don't hate whites. I do have a problem with people that act racist.

I do realize I answered problems incorrectly on my exams. My point is I can't believe everyone in my class answered her questions perfectly. It is my understanding that everyone in that class got "A"s. If she was so particular on my exams, I don't...

Thanks for the article NRSKarenRN. I read it and it echos the sentiments I have read in other articles. Thanks everyone for their feed back (both positive and negative). I have posted all my exams in that class on the web so everyone can judge for...

Of course the Mexican-American student is myself. I did recommend that my exams be independently reviewed. I was told by the committee they would not dare grade another professor's tests. I also asked Dean Vincent what the other student's grades w...
In Dean Catherine Vincent's pediatric pathophysiology course, all of her white middle-class students did exceptionally well but a Mexican-American student in her class failed miserably. What was the reason for the minority student's failure? Could ...
