His turmoil may have start with his email. But, did he think his email would possibly result in being castigate, physically threatened by the students, and possibly fired? In my opinion, I don't think he did since he seemed surprised when he appeared on Fox by the response to his email.

He has even called out his college colleagues on twitter for not reaching out to him. He is out in the Leftist cold......

And I really,really wish he'd been confronted with his past "performances" and how he justify his position now against his past...

They are creating an atmosphere of feelings, overruling fact.

Where anything that hurts their feelings, or is offensive to them, is to be classified "hate Speech". All to justify violence and shut them up. They want jail time for hate speech. The reason they want people unarmed.

No one from the other side suggested it. The "other side" suggested a temporary separation while they continued to collect the goodies that "our side" created.

But actually the current term for shrieking at someone is to "invest emotional labor in his face". See it at 0:55.

What's so concerning is that our country is starting to see the dire consequences of our whole education system taken over by and a whole generation now deeply indoctrinated in extreme liberal ideology. These kids are lacking civility, balanced critical thinking skills, tolerance, moral and intellectual integrity.

Until we openly admit the imbalance, it will only get worse.

When even Fareed Zakaria admits how intolerant liberals have become, you know it's bad......

This school plays a dangerous racial game with this "absence" thing. It's actually not the fault of these kids that they act this way. That being said, their tone demands that names are taken and suspensions or some other form of punishment is meted out.

As in "City data poster shrieks that students are angry"?

Why anyone thinks that the vast majority of humans , no matter whether students or Trump rally goers are not ignorant , uninformed buffoons is surprising.

This is a SAD and transparent attempt to attack Universities due to the right's view that they are too liberal. Guessing the OP never finished college?
Are you saying colleges should espouse only politically correct views?
