Didn't want to clutter the thread for Barbara Bush with any more of this woman's garbage...like Mack said, a mental disorder.

Just look at her...she's Annie Wilkes.

From the article: (you lefties must be so proud)

Jarrar also received support from a Fresno State lecturer who claims to have been demoted after tweeting that President Donald Trump “must hang” in order to “save American democracy.”

Lars Maischak, a history lecturer, wrote Wednesday that the university and the professor is siding with Jarrar’s attackers and is failing to stand up to the “fascist threat to academic freedom.”

Multiple advocacy groups came out in support of the professor as well.

“Jarrar’s tweets are unquestionably protected speech under the First Amendment and Fresno State has no power to censor, punish, or terminate Jarrar for them,” Adam Steinbaugh, senior program officer for FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights in Education), said in a statement to Fox News.

I guess we are picking a choosing which amendments can be enforced and protected.

Dad gum that article got my neck red.  What a fussy headed loon.  She looks like she should be standing in front of a McDonalds with a welcome sign.  Maybe Ronald's wife.  And the article is full of "free speech".  Wonder if they'd be so full of it if Rush was going to speak there?  Heaven knows they could use a little Limbaugh.

From the article:

The controversy over the professor’s remarks prompted some donors to the university to consider pulling out financial support if Jarrar isn’t removed from the position.

Ed Dunkel Jr., who made sizable financial contributions to Fresno State, said he will await the outcome of the controversy before deciding whether to close his checkbook.

“I have a lot of friends that I've been talking to, and these are people who donate now and talking about holding back, and some are even questioning whether to send their kids to Fresno State," Dunkel told the Fresno Bee.

 

We'll see how high their free speech "standards" are when they start getting hit in the pocketbook.

You never know, they may be as dumb as the NFL.
