A political commentator admits being shocked but not surprised a Southern university has hired a controversial figure to teach political science.
Campus Reform reports that MSNBC host Al Sharpton (pictured) will teach at Tennessee State University, beginning in January.
TSU President Glenda Glover says Sharpton is an “icon” who “brings wealth” to politics and who will offer “an amazing opportunity” for TSU students.
“Sharpton’s presence,” says Glover, “means students will be able to engage with a piece of history at a time when his insight is more relevant than ever before.”
Derryck Green of Project 21 questions, first of all, Sharpton’s teaching qualifications.
“I just don’t think,” Green tells One News Now, “that even his professional experiences qualifies him to be in a classroom full of students.”
A spokesperson for the National Association of Scholars also questions the hiring of Sharpton, suggesting TSU “has now joined MSNBC and the Democratic Party … in [a] roster of shame” for being affiliated with Sharpton.
Campus Reform says Sharpton has a checkered past and has also been accused of being an anti-Semite and “race-baiter.”
Sharpton will teach “in the area of political science grounded in social justice.”
Green thinks that’s a bad combination.
“When people start listing political science with social and racial justice, you get things such as Critical Race Theory or intersectionality,” he warns. “And I think that just simply bogs down the teaching and understanding of certain subjects.”

“TSU President Glenda Glover says Sharpton is an “icon” who “brings wealth” to politics and who will offer “an amazing opportunity” for TSU students”. Yep, a race baiter, a shake down artist and a criminal, who owes over 4 million dollars to the IRS and who owes three quarters of a million to New York in back taxes, is an “icon” and “brings wealth” to politics. The communist Universities of America / indoctrination centers of America are stellar, aren’t they? Taxpayer money goes to universities, so they can destroy our freedoms and destroy our nation?
WHO the hell considers him an ICON?? Maybe an icon of corruption…
Also a tax evader. Why can’t the government go after him like they did Al Capone?
A) He’s a democrat.. THEY ARE above the law
B) he’d toss the race card out, and most likely would get ignored cause of that
C) he’s a “Reverend” so they don’t wanna go after him, cause of the anti-religion angle..
Do you really want this corrupt anti-Semite and racist “race-baiter Al Sharpton indoctrinating your young people in his racial hate and his hostility and prejudiced against Jewish people and all white people in general??
Tells me the president of the university thinks the students are to stupid to handle a real educator.
Clearly the trustees of the university are too stupid to realize they’ve hired as President an idiot whom the taxpaying citizens of Tennessee would never willingly employ. The Trustees as well as the President need to be held accountable for this travesty.
NO, which is why if i had kids, THEY WOULD NEVER EVER be allowed to go to this place.. AND any there, would be getting PULLED the hell out, SWIFTLY!

This country is so damaged it doesn’t appear even possible to get back to any semblance of normalcy.
Not as long as schools KEEP CRANKING OUT libtards ..
Are you kidding ? Al Sharpton, an obnoxious, trouble- making, Race- baiting, Anti- Semite ! You are so stupid, that you actually think this man is an “Icon” ? He will NEVER be an icon or ANYTHING that children should EVER look up to ! Oh, I forgot about the LYING, and not paying his taxes part also ! You had better learn what the word actually means before you call a man like HIM an “Icon” !!
“TSU President Glenda Glover says Sharpton is an “icon” who “brings wealth” to politics and who will offer “an amazing opportunity” for TSU students.” she is bat s##t crazy, this guy is no different than an ambulance chasing lawyer, he is a race baiting blubbering old fool, with nothing more than racial hatred to spread. sharpton, jackson and obama have have set race relations back 50 years and black lies matter has set relations back another thirty. Black people are going backward, especially with black lies matter, ANYONE who seems to think a Billion dollars worth of destruction of both government and private property is really going to promote your cause, is a fool. I would be willing to bet, if anyone was sitting on the fence about being a racist, those people have stepped of on the side of being a p###d off racist.
Yes, old Al is guilty as charged. My point (posted below) is that:
1. He deserves to be heard.
2. He deserves to be publicly humiliated with the truth.
That let’s you know what is being considered as a good teacher in the colleges. Send your children and grandchildren to Hillsdale College so they can learn the truth and the original constitution for which others paid so dearly for.
Send your children and grandchildren to a Sunday School hosted by a conservative (Bible-teaching) church.
Live out a Bible-inspired live as an example to them to follow.
Teach your children and grandchildren to read the Constitution; as written and as intended by the Founding Fathers.
Live out a patriotic lifestyle for them to emulate.
Hell. SEND THEM TO a tech school. LEARN a proper degree that will pay them well, WITHOUT ANY of this libtard indoctrination..
An icon!?! It just keeps getting worse everyday.
And, that’s the BIBLE belt.
The biography of Glenda Glover explains how and why he is welcome there.
Evil is as evil does, Sharpton does evil and so evil is on it’s way to Tennessee ,
Glenda Glover is not the good witch. Do not stand near them on Judgment Day.

Has this “reverend” ever paid the $3 million in taxes which he has owed the US since the Barry O period? He and this jive Warnock sure fit the description of “ravening wolves” in sheep’s clothing!
DOUBTFUL.. And with biden being sworn in, in less than a month, i doubt he ever will.
I stand in support of the First Amendment right of EVERYONE, without limitation, to make their views known.
I also support the right of those in the audience to jeer, heckle, and call a liar what he / she is.
When I was in college and the Vietnam war was raging, both leading doves and leading hawks were invited to speak on campus. I admire the audacity of those who contradicted the government line or the views of a majority of college students at that time; even in the face of loud disagreement.
A free and unlimited airing of various sides of an issue is, despite the noise, the best way to eventually come to a negotiated middle ground. Censorship only intensifies the divide between the factions without opportunity for a solution. Unfortunately, the media masters have decreed that mere mortals, like you and me, are unworthy of having our voices heard. EVERYONE must be heard. EVERYONE must stand under whatever criticism others inflict as a result of unpopular things said.
Unfortunately, very few undergraduates are willing to buck the uber-liberal tenured idiots who fawn over the likes of Comrade Sharpton, for fear of the impact on their grade point average. The required liberal arts courses turn the stomachs of my technology students but they won’t rock the boat.
Sounds to me like the china comms. have a controlling interest in TSU. NOT GOOD!
Al Sharpton is nothing but a common racist.
This racist teaches lies and hate. Young black children grow being taught they were stolen from their homeland. That why they hate us so. That’s why I truly believe this is the beginning of the end for the U.S..
IMO that ending has been decades in the making.. ALL No thanks to the libtard indoctrinators, taking over our schools.
