“A political science instructor at Santa Rosa Junior College is being investigated by the Secret Service for telling his students to compose an e- mail to an elected official that included the words ‘kill the president, kill the president,’ a school administrator said Wednesday.” —‘Kill the President’ E-Mail Sparks Probe (SF Gate)

Google tells me that the instructor, Michael Ballou, maintains an activist web page for adjuncts (part-time faculty members who work for much less money and much less security than those fortunate enough to land tenure-track positions). I’m not sure this particular assignment is going to help his lobbying efforts.
