Lest I be thought of as a Loomis sycophant though, I do find the following troubling (though unlike Julie, still not a firing-offense):"My problem is that even after reflection, as you rightly pointed out, he continues to believe that the rights of people he disagrees are not just unimportant but that acting within their rights is actually criminal. That, to me, is pretty disturbing for a college professor…"To fire him for that isn't like putting LaPierre in jail, but isn't it similarly motivated, in that both are ways of punishing a speaker for his spoken political beliefs? |
