The real solution for liberal academia

It happens almost like clockwork. 

Every couple of weeks, some far left wing professor pops off on Twitter.  These left wing professors do not simply express an opinion.  They say something so outrageous and beyond the pale that it makes news. 

Then they get placed on administrative leave for the semester, they are forgotten about and they return to their jobs.  It’s a great racket for left wing professors.  It is a simple way to earn a paid vacation.

Kansas University professor David Guth has been placed on administrative leave after tweeting that he wished death and damnation on NRA members and their children. 

Guth is now a hero to his left wing colleagues.  He will no doubt be fĂȘted with lunches in his honor and he will be invited to speak at liberal gatherings.  Meanwhile odds are an overwhelming majority of the taxpayers of Kansas who help pay his salary are not too happy with him as a state employee.

It’s not just Twitter where these far left wing professors spout their garbage.  William Penn teaches creative writing at Michigan State University.  He went on a political rant the first day of class, saying, “If you go to the Republican convention in Florida, you see all of the old Republicans with the dead skin cells washing off them. They are cheap. They don’t want to pay taxes because they have already raped this country and gotten everything out of it they possibly could.”

Most of those students thought they had signed up for a creative writing course.

Michigan State put William Penn on paid leave for the semester.  He gets a full vacation.  Most people who did something that stupid would get fired.

In Florida, a professor Dr. Deandre Poole, told students to make a sign with the name “Jesus” on it then stomp it.  One student refused and was suspended.  Eventually the University apologized to the student and instead suspended Poole.  Another paid leave.



Here is an idea for the people of Florida, Kansas and Michigan who are tired of left wing professors who are using their classrooms to indoctrinate students and otherwise insult the people who pay their salaries.

Most of these professors cannot be fired because of tenure.  But there is nothing that says the state legislature cannot defund their position and the positions of the Deans above them. 

There is a lesson liberals don’t get.  When you work for someone, that means you represent them.  That means you don’t get to say anything and everything you want to and you don’t get to insult the people who pay your salary.

The left has hijacked academia and no one remembers why we have colleges anymore.  It isn’t a four-year party and contrary to what the left thinks, it is not the full employment office for unemployed radicals. 

Parents send their children to college to get an education so they can get a job after they graduate.  It is time for state legislatures to do their duty and start reminding taxpayer funded colleges and universities of that truth.

They can start by getting rid of some of these radical leftists.
