There is hope for us yet! Hateful radicals may dominate the policies of many universities, but sometimes the right decision gets made:

Melissa Click, a professor who gained national notoriety during the protests at the University of Missouri, has been fired.

Click made headlines when a video of her pushing a reporter away from protesters went viral; she could be heard calling for “muscle” to toss out reporters trying to cover the news. The protests had paralyzed the university and forced the resignation of the system president and chancellor.

Click tried to "interfere" with police "who were carrying out their duties" at an October homecoming parade on the Columbia, Missouri, campus and "interfered" with members of the media and students "who were exercising their rights in a public space" during a protest in November, according to the statement.

The university said Click also called for physical intimidation against a student.

"The board believes that Dr. Click’s conduct was not compatible with university policies and did not meet expectations for a university faculty member," it said in a statement.

."..who gained national notoriety "?


2 of their professors did & 1 assistance professor who dragged his female relative (literally dragged, down flights of steps), out of another school for not wearing a hijab to school.

Geez. Close the college for two weeks & fire & hire new people!


But that would make too much sense & some petty organization would be screaming & protesting again. slaphead

Yes, she is definitely out there. But all you have to do to be accepted and supported by some ideologues is just chant the right slogans.



There is more good news, though, in the fight between freedom of speech and crazy ideologues:


MINNESOTA PROFESSORS: FREE SPEECH MORE IMPORTANT THAN 'CLIMATE OF MUTUAL RESPECT'


BY MIKE MULLENMONDAY, MARCH 14, 2016

Outrage is all the rage on American college campuses. Both sides in a long-running but newly heated debate have dug in on their positions. On one side, some, most of them students, have pushed for campuses to be "safe spaces" where kids are free to pursue an education without the threat of an insult or offensive behavior that could ruin their learning experience.

On the other, free speech champions say students are grown-ups, or close enough, and should be able to handle potentially offensive speech if they plan to operate in the real world.

A powerful panel of University of Minnesota professors has taken its own position on the thorny topic, as detailed in the Washington Post. They're siding with free speech.

The University's Faculty Consultative Committee gave its support to a four-point statement that calls for the University to protect the free exchange of ideas — "paramount" to higher learning — even if some, or many, will find those ideas "offensive, uncivil, or even hateful."

Here is another ruthless 'activist' who shouldn't be in academia. This time the perp is a racist white-hating student.

Its a shame so many 'anti racists' out there think this kind of racist rhetoric is acceptable:
