Question by James M: Should I speak up to my “PROFESSOR”?
I am taking a course in substance abuse, as part of a Masters Program in Social Work. The professor usually teaches EX-ADDICTS who want to become counselors. He is a Black Muslim about 60 years old and claims to hold a Ph.D……spelled PHD for some reason. The problem is:::::::: he is CONSTANTLY coming out with B.S………example Cocaine is really a DEPRESSANT ect……AA meetings were ILLEGAL in 1984. Marijuana is NOT a chemical……..SEMANTICS OK! ………also crap about PROTRACTED withdrawal means DETOX……it means PROLONGED!!!! and MANY MANY MANY MORE…………..When he doesn’t know the answer he just makes some crap up………..it makes me so MADDDDDDDDD I don’t want to OFFEND him, nor do I want to alienate myself from his “followers” (mostly uneducated people who sit there for the CASAC) but,,,,,,,frankly it pisses me off !!!!!! Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Eri…..thanks…..I would LOVE it if others would say something as well. I may do what you say. So far BEST ANSWER

Rick>>, that is just ONE of MANY……such as Schizophrenia “IS” multiple personality disorder!! That is exactly what the IGNORANT think; that schizophrenia means SPLIT PERSONALITY……it Doesn’t MPD is a completely different disorder as listed in the DSM IV R………aslo saying that Cocaine is NOT a stimulant; I can go ON and ON……..actually I am of Mixed Race Black Italian Latino and Anglo………and my FAVORITE professor is BLACK so forget the whole Racism thing……..he is an overage Black Muslim who doesn’t speak ARABIC…..like MOST black Muslims who can barely speak a word nor even no about the Muslim culture..in fact he has said that Muslims never call Allah “GOD) do I make myself clear???????

Go talk to the dean about your concerns. Try not to come across as mad or racist – just tell him you don’t think he’s qualified to teach the course and cite a few examples.

Well if you over think it; True facts about marijuana and other drugs were misleading until the late 90’s. So if he is 60ish maybe hes just out of the times? And some teachers arn’t exactly the smartest people in the world.
