Stuttering teenager told not Ask Questions During Class by College Professor

A student was told by his college professor not to speak aloud in class any more because his stutter was 'infringing on other students' time'.

Phillip Garber Jr, 16, from New Jersey and a student at County College of Morris, has suffered from a stutter since he was very young.

The intelligent and confident 16-year-old - who is taking two college classes this semester - has a lot to say in class and was angered when he was told he should keep his comments until afterwards.

In fact, college professor Elizabeth Snyder not only sent him an email discouraging him from actively participating in class discussion, but ignored his raised hand for the whole 75-minute history session.

Mr Garber told the New York Times that his professor sent him an email after he had participated in a couple of class sessions saying: 'I believe it would be better for everyone if you kept a sheet of paper on your desk and wrote down the answers.'

Later, he said, she told him: 'Your speaking is disruptive.'

Mr Garber reported the incident to a college dean who then had him transferred to another class where he has been encouraged to join in again.

@screwmanx That's lulzy.You obviously aren't very well rounded in the way genetics work.It takes only 3,sometimes even 2 generations to change someones phenotype.if you look at Kevin and Keith,they are a prime example,i bet their kids don't even look black.

So what the fuck does this tell you?Oh,maybe you're dumbass could be just as black as them and has no remote -clue- WHO your ancestors are.So FICK DICH.
