Not ...I find that analogy to be in very poor taste. Not only is the idea of comparing this man to Rosa Parks inaccurate, it is also offensive. What he is doing is entirely self-serving and narrow-minded. Let's drop the righteous indignation (because, frankly, it's nauseating) and look at this for what it is - he was justifiably removed from a professional program for clear breaches of professional code of practice. All of this - the hearings, the trespassing, the litigation - has been reactionary, to inflict as much discomfort on the people who exercised their professional judgement as possible. It is petty, ignoble, and tiresome. To imply that this is, in any way, equatable to Rosa Parks' actions is deplorable.<br /><br />This is far less a meaningful protest as it is a combative reaction to having to abide by expectations that are not his own. Classroom teaching, as it is, is not a viable choice for this man right now. This senseless quest for a Pyrrhic victory should end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6856782335366504160.post-6346901545330911532013-02-16T08:03:32.653-06:002013-02-16T08:03:32.653-06:00I disagree, Marty is a hero in my humble opinion. ...I disagree, Marty is a hero in my humble opinion.

Marty is presented as abrasive and confrontational, causing the problems rather than responding to injustice, then making himself out to be a victim. This is self-apparent in his own writings, not the result of propaganda against him.<br /><br />This blog is not getting anyone (with a possible few exceptions who don't actually post about it) on Marty's side, It's helping him dig his own grave.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6856782335366504160.post-22442077559276984472013-02-13T07:15:41.672-06:002013-02-13T07:15:41.672-06:00Both posters make great points.

So basically, if he was on property to stir up trouble in any way (which he admits that he was), then he has broken this law. Forcible doesn't necessarily mean a physical force.<br /><br />Criminal mischief can include an action that "obstructs, interrupts or interferes with the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property." This also includes general disruption and disruption that is focused on an individual or individuals. This one is a little less clear cut, but the argument can easily be made that the changes in security detail at the university, and the disruptive episodes resulting in detainment meet this criteria.<br /><br />The fact that he was trespassing is self evident.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6856782335366504160.post-7325253271232968742013-02-12T22:16:28.776-06:002013-02-12T22:16:28.776-06:00Why are you supporting this nut job?
