The hiring requirements for UNLV must be very lax if assistant professor Tessa Winkelmann is any example (“UNLV class erupts after professor blames Trump for shooting,” Saturday Review-Journal). This individual should not be teaching grade school let alone at a university. Ms. Winkelmann is the perfect example of what is wrong in the educational system today. Instead of teaching facts, she is giving out her feelings and prejudices. I hope her students can decipher the difference.

I feel sorry for her students. They are getting a really lopsided view of the United States.
