HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — Two Connecticut lawmakers are calling for the dismissal of a Trinity College professor following comments he made in the aftermath of the shootings that took place in Alexandria, Virginia last week.

Republican House Leader Themis Klarides and State Senator George Logan, both alumni of Trinity College, penned a letter to President Joanne Berger-Sweeney Wednesday, calling to remove Professor Johnny Eric Williams. In the letter, Klarides and Logan referred to comments Williams made in the aftermath of the shootings in Alexandria, Virginia.

Among the professor's comments? Oh, that whites are "inhuman assholes" and "let them die." https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=9334

What a charming individual that man is. I bet he's a riot at parties. :roll:

The only 'inhuman asshole', is the racist imbecile that says that an entire race of people should die like it's nothing.

He is a sick puppy if repeat if the quotes are correct however repeat however if you fired him and he is a tender professor your open the door for firing a professor for any comment such as Trump is a wonderful president.

There's a distinct difference between someone saying, "I like the current President" and saying "an entire race of people should die".

Just sayin'.
 
Not sure why lawmakers should be calling for the dismissal of a professor at a private college.

And he's teaching the kiddos. And 5 years from now this will blow over and he will still be teaching the kiddos. And he knows it.

For every professor willing to speak out, there are dozens who agree but are unwiling to speak out.

Why are you insinuating that the quotes aren't correct? Did you click on any of the links and read them for yourself?

And no, you don't open any such door. What Williams said was indefensible.

And remember the Yale prof who used the term "white trash"? She's just lost her job. And this isn't nearly so extreme as saying that whites are "inhuman" and should die. Yale dean out of job after 'white trash' comments on Yelp reviews | syracuse.com
 
Of course it not that simple........

While Professor Williams did not write that article, he did share it on his personal social media accounts this week, and he did so with the use of a hashtag that connected directly to the inflammatory conclusion of that article. Professor Williams, who teaches about race and racism, shared the article on his personal Twitter account using that hashtag; he also shared it on his personal Facebook page.

The problem here it that it your opinion that a racist and religion bigot President toward a large percent of the whole human race is not a danger to the society and in fact far more so then any one professor.

And therefore any professor who support such a president should be fired at once.

Here is the citation:

Prof calls whites 'inhuman assholes,' says 'let them die'

This is from a "Professor of Sociology," and one wonders where our college kids are getting their ideas these days. :doh

First of all there is absolutely no evidence that Trump is either a racist or a religious bigot...none. :no:

Second of all, there is no problem with the exercise of free speech, but try to remember that you are still liable for the consequences of your expression. :coffeepap:

You did read that he did not write the comments he just share them did you not?

A professor does not have control of the American military including nukes so a religion bigot and racial bigot president and his supporters are far more dangerous then a college professor.

No one should be allow to keep his job if he dare to made statements in support of Trump.

That is probably true. But what is also true is that for every racist jerk prof, there are thousands who aren't.
 
I am positive the people who staunchly defend the "freedom to hate" here will be along any minute now to defend this asshole. Right? :lamo

An they are using their positions in the state government to lend weight to their call to fired the man.

I'd need backup verification of that. Most professors are very liberal and very Democratic. Can you cite an instance where a Conservative professor has spoken out in the opposite manner and kept his job?

You mean to defend such men as President Trump a man who once called for four young black men to be executed in a full page paid for adv due to an attack and rape of a young woman in central park?

A crime that they was complete innocent of.

Seem Trump had been making full use of his freedom to hate a large percent of the human race without blow back from people such as yourself.
