Seriously, you shouldn't have to work that hard to convince someone about a fact easily found just about anywhere.

I find it interesting that even after the student provided reference material proving her facts, the teacher didn't even bother to do some basic due diligence first before responding to reinforce the bad information.
Given it escalated to the news and will cause a PR nightmare for the school in regard to the credibility of their staff, I suspect that teacher is going to have some hard questions to answer.

sounds like the professor got her degree from a diploma mill or TESU

If they are accepting instructors without a valid degree (via a diploma mill) then they deserve the bad press.
I'm not sure why you are trying to equate TESU to a diploma mill though. TESU is an accredited regional university where students have to at least put in the work to earn a degree. They don't just collect money to hand over a [fake] diploma. We already have at least one recent thread about diploma mills being compared to legit colleges... no reason to revisit that topic here.

Who do you think would win in a fight, Australia the country, or Australia the continent?
