] LOS ANGELES (AP) - A college speech instructor who gave
] students extra credit for writing letters to President
] Bush opposing a war with Iraq has been placed on
] administrative leave and the president of the college
] said Tuesday he was sending a letter of apology to the
] White House.
]
] Louis Zellers, president of Citrus College in suburban
] Glendora, said adjunct speech professor Rosalyn Kahn
] offered her students extra credit for sending letters to
] Bush expressing anti-war views but said they would
] receive no extra credit if they wrote letters supporting
] a war with Iraq.
]
] "Students confirmed if they did not protest the war they
] would not get the extra credit. That's inappropriate and
] we're not going to tolerate it," Zellers said, adding
] that his letter to Bush would request that all letters
] received from Citrus College students be retracted.
