This fricken guy has been doing crap like this for years and years.
I can only assume he has been tenured for a long damn time ... otherwise, I would have hoped that he would have been run off a long time ago.

Sorry if this is Germanic in nature.

I've been an English professor at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis for 30 years. An education within such a service academy (the others are Army, Air Force and Coast Guard) immerses students for four years in an atmosphere heavy with an insistence on leadership. Currently my students' commander-in-chief is a man whose qualities as a leader are the exact opposite of what I believe we are trying to teach. Certainly he lacks the skills that English class can help students achieve. Thus my modest proposal is that we should waive our age limits on entering students and have the commander-in-chief enroll at Annapolis as a plebe, a freshman. And I'd like to request that he be assigned to one of my classes.

One is the leader of the free world...the other an English teacher.
Hmmmmm...

Looks like we have a grammar nazi at the USNA.

Added a bit of relevant info.
What's better than tenure? Tenure AND being a government employee!

An English professor for 30 years? Seems very low energy.
He should try a real job one day.

HMMMM.
But satire or not, he better be ready to face the consequences though.

WTF is this even supposed to mean?
My god damn bank has never rejected a deposit because I didn't address the teller in proper English.
Stupid bubble head.

Mixed reviews on Rate My Professors
quote:
Professor Fleming is the single worst professor at the Naval Academy. Not only does he waste half of the class time forcing you to gawk at his ridiculous outfits, but he constantly veers off into random tangents. Not to mention, Fleming makes his hatred for the USNA and the military known daily. As far as papers, 90% of your grade is how he feels..
quote:
Professor Fleming is one of the most irritating individuals I have ever interacted with and in my opinion he is generally not a good person. Grades based half on your writing skills half on his opinion of you. Will dock your grades if you offer opposing viewpoints that he cannot counter. Would not take again and would highly recommend against him.

Doesn't sound like there's ANYTHING modest about this a-hole.

That's what always bothered me. The guy is not even a Grad.
He clearly fricking hates USNA, USN, and the military in general.
Got a PHD from Vandy, MA from U of Chicongo, and BA from some place called "Haverford."
This sorry douche has been a stain on The Yard for over 3 decades! On the taxpayer dime.
