I don’t know if the Hasan case can be boiled down to “political correctness” run amok…again, have to wait and see. Maybe there are other factors yet to be revealed which would explain the gross incompetence of instructors. However, I do think (and this has nothing to do with “Islamic extremism” or “Muslims”) if you are attending a graduate course on environmental health, and you are required to give a presentation and you go totally off topic (say you start yakking about the Evil Commies in China, etc.) then, that should warrant a Grade of F — that means FAILURE. You fail. Period. No graduation, no certificate, no advanced degree. It should be fairly obvious. You flunk the course.
