While perusing Reddit this morning, waiting for the stuffing to bake, I came across this post. Apparently there was a todo at Berkeley involving a CS instructor. Specifically a grad student teaching their data structures course. You can link from the first post to the Berkeley subreddit post and can listen to the video if you want. It seems that this was the last day of class and the instructor decided to end class early, announce that he was going to share some of his own views so students should feel free to leave and then proceeded to give a very one sided diatribe on the Israel/Palestine situation and to say one sided is me being nice.

Like many of my fellow bloggers and tweeters, I generally keep this site clear of political issues with the exception of those that are directly related to education. Also, like many of my fellow bloggers and tweeters, this week has provided a reason to break with that tradition. Many people, including some friends, all more eloquent than I have already posted, tweeted, and Facebooked about the behavior of our President and government.
