Typical. Does not listen to what is being said. Does not Consider an alternative point of view. Does not make an argument or debate. Has no interest in learning or expanding understanding. Simply acts out and sets an example for student and liberal behavior. He has no fear of being arrested, as the courts make it a non-event, he has no down side from his employer…he can behave anyway he wants and get away with it. Society in 2025.
