(Disclosure: This reporter works for the same radio station.)<\/p>\n<p>Almstedt shared a tweet recounting the alleged incident, which she said occurred Tuesday at Lindenwood University in Missouri.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">So this was my morning\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fhZ967br2o\">pic.twitter.com\/fhZ967br2o<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Leah Almstedt (@leah_almstedt) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/leah_almstedt\/status\/1508837540584992775?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 29, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Almstedt told The Daily Wire that the teacher, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AVPradioshow\/status\/1508841590827241481\">identified as Andrew Millians<\/a>, had been talking with a group of students outside of class time, but that she had overheard parts of the conversation while she played on her phone.<\/p>\n<p>The conversation, Leah said, was about murder and the fact that only people who were directly involved with the crime would have any knowledge of it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut let\u2019s say we kill Leah and we need to hide the body,\u201d the teacher said then, and Leah said it caught her attention because Millians did not typically single out or pick on individual students like that.<\/p>\n<p>After, she gave him a confused look, he quickly replied, \u201cI\u2019m kidding, I\u2019m kidding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leah said that if he had stopped there, she would have simply let it pass, dismissing it as an awkward joke \u2014 but he didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not going to kill you, but nobody likes you,\u201d Millians reportedly continued, prompting another look from Leah \u2014 this one less amused.<\/p>\n<p>Millians again claimed that he was kidding, adding, \u201cIt\u2019s just because you work for a conservative radio station.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Millians did not respond to a Daily Wire request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Leah explained that this wasn\u2019t her first awkward exchange with Millians, and she explained how he had learned where she worked along with his initial reaction to that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a screenwriting class that is required for my major. I didn\u2019t choose to take it, I have to take it,\u201d Almstedt said, and she detailed a recent assignment that required her to write a script for and then conduct an interview. She chose to interview her boss, Jeff Allen, about the new conservative talk radio station he had started in St. Louis last summer: Newstalk STL.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had to stand up in front of the class and talk about what we were writing about and who we were interviewing, and when I said I was interviewing the owner of the radio station I worked for, the teacher wanted more details about the station because he had not ever heard of it,\u201d Almstedt continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u00a0said, \u2018Well, it\u2019s a conservative talk station,&#8217;\u201d Almstedt said. \u201cAnd he said, \u2018Oh, well, that\u2019s why I haven\u2019t heard about it.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said that she tried to continue with her presentation, but that Millians continued to interrupt her with more questions about the radio station \u2014 and at one point, he asked her who the station\u2019s \u201caudience\u201d was.<\/p>\n<p>She told him that the audience was primarily middle-aged men.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiddle-aged white men,\u201d he corrected her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot necessarily,\u201d Almstedt objected, and she pointed out to The Daily Wire that two of the station\u2019s regular weekday hosts were black men.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it\u2019s a conservative station, so your audience is going to be white,\u201d Millians replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNone of my classmates reacted, no one thought it was funny,\u201d Almstedt added.<\/p>\n<p>Since Tuesday\u2019s incident, Almstedt has filed a complaint with the Dean\u2019s office and the school has already reached out to her to discuss the matter. She said that she made it clear that her goal was not to get the teacher canceled or fired, only to drive home the message that he couldn\u2019t treat students that way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not trying to get him canceled or fired. I don\u2019t need him to apologize. I just need him to know he can\u2019t do that,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t think less of the school, I think this is just a teacher issue. I don\u2019t want people to see this and think the school is at fault or that it\u2019s a bad school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire obtained the following statement from Lindenwood University: \u201cLindenwood values multiple viewpoints and regrets to hear of these concerns from one of our students. Lindenwood takes seriously these concerns \u2013 and the concerns of all students \u2013 and is in the process of looking into the matter. If true, these statements would not be an accurate reflection of our commitment to creating an open and welcoming educational environment and corrective actions will be taken, as appropriate, to stop its occurrence, remedy its effects, and prevent its recurrence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
