Bangor, ME – A Maine college professor is under fire after allegedly mocking and attempting to silence a student over her support for gun rights and her Christian faith. Now, nearly 50 Republican lawmakers are demanding her immediate termination.
Katherine Parker, an early childhood education student at Eastern Maine Community College (EMCC), says her professor, Dr. Carol Lewandowski, crossed the line when she submitted a pro-Second Amendment essay for class. In response, Lewandowski reportedly lashed out in an email, writing: “You clearly do not care about people as much as you care about guns.”
When Parker refused to change her topic, the professor doubled down, bringing in college administrators to back her up.
According to Themainewire.com, this is not the first time that TDS-affected Professor Carol Lewandowski has run off the rails due to political issues;
“This is not the first time that Lewandowski has been absent from her class due to political issues — according to emails obtained by the Maine Wire, Lewandowski canceled class after the 2024 election, claiming that she was too upset about Donald Trump winning to teach, or to even “communicate in any way, shape, or form.”
Describing the woe of Trump’s electoral victory as akin to a “death in the family,” the 30-year EMCC professor offered in an email to her students a grave prediction that “the US is going to lose its glorious democracy, its stately presidency (again), its constitution, its global respect, its civil rights, its guiding light, its compassion for others, its respect for ‘facts’, and just our sense of humanity.”
“If you cannot respect my depression, despair, and general disgust, I think you are limited in your scope of ‘professionalism.’ I was grieving for our country. And I still am,” Lewandowski wrote.”
But Parker didn’t back down—and her story has now exploded across Maine and beyond.
“This isn’t just about my daughter,” said Laura Whitcomb, Parker’s mother and president of Gun Owners of Maine. “It’s about every student who’s been bullied into silence because their values don’t align with the radical left’s agenda on campus.”
Lawmakers aren’t holding back either. In a letter sent Monday, they slammed Lewandowski’s behavior as “intimidation” and called on EMCC to fire her. “There is no excuse for these comments,” the letter states. “We urge the system to fire this professor with immediate force and effect.”
Former Maine Governor Paul LePage also weighed in, blasting the professor for denying a student her right to express pro-gun and Christian views.
For now, EMCC says it is “investigating,” but college officials are tight-lipped about the outcome. Lewandowski is reportedly no longer teaching Parker’s class.
Another example of the hypocrisy of the tolerant left and a rallying cry for gun owners and free speech advocates alike.
“Freedom is dangerous,” Whitcomb added. “And only those willing to live dangerously deserve it.”

Another classic example of an Cant Understand Normal Thinker!
that the school is staying quiet says they agree with the professor , so administrators need to go by by too
The role of a professor requires a set of characteristics that are not negotiable – among which is the ability to be dispassionately objective and free of emotionally-based bias. The main problem in this story is neither about guns nor religion. It is about the capability and fitness to serve in a professorial capacity of a person who does not possess that objective characteristic, but instead proselytizes for a biased viewpoint, replacing fact with subjectivity. Mandating that opinion be the guiding principle, rather than objective fact, behind the content of a student’s work product is antithetical to the notion of education –… Read more »
This immature mentally unstable nut job of a teacher needs a good psych evaluation. She goes about fearing things that will never harm her. No gun has ever killed anyone without human agency of some sort. All they can do is sit there.. on the table, on he floor, in the holster on my hip, on the shelf in my gun safe… until a HUMAN does something, no gun is able to do anything. s to her childish crack about Jesus packing heat… she’s got no idea how silly she is. He declared one time that all He ever would… Read more »
so much for our civil rights, hmmm…?
Just another example of an adult acting like a child. People like her have a brain that has never developed. She probably ran to her “cry” room both in 2016 and 2024 when Trump won the presidency. It’s quite amazing she ended up in a teaching position at a university.. the only thing I can conclude is that the morons that interviewed and hired her are just as bad. Sadly, our universities, mostly poison ivy league, are filled with liberal faculty that are sick in the head.
This “professor” needs to find a new line of work, she is way too narrow minded to be a serious academic.
A person, such as Lewandowski, who is so emotionally frail and unable to separate personal politics, opinions, and feelings from their professional duties does not belong in a teaching capacity. To be fair, neither do we see the assignment or Parker’s submission. It may very well have been “riddled with numerous logical fallacies” and failed to follow the assignment.
Dr. Carol reminds me a lot of Dr. Jill.
Neither one has the brains God gave a roadkilled armadillo
Classic case of TDS.
Sorry part is, the “education” world in America is so lopsidedly dominated by these leftist educators that conservative types can’t hardly get a job, especially at the college level.
The communists and Marxists knew long ago that this was the first area in America they needed to infiltrate. They are showing their true colors, as this example shows, that their mindset is to destroy the constitution in order to “preserve” our American rights.
Really wacky.
