I'm not entirely sure why the human sexuality teacher felt the need to make an anti-Trump political rant, nor am I clear on the recording laws in California, this city or this college, but I do have to wonder what sort of environment this attorney (Steele) believes the school is fostering wherein a student and teacher can't disagree without the professor retaliating on the student.

I disagreed with my professors all the time, even going so far as to tell one she was completely delusional. She still gave me an "A" because I kept it on topic and argued the merits.
