But why should we hear about body bags, and deaths, and how many, what day it's going to happen, and how many this and what do you suppose? Or, I mean, it's, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that? And watch him suffer.

Not the mention the hypocrisy of responding to someone's nasty comments by saying nasty things.

You're being obtuse. There wasn't just one. There were several from pre 2018, which I stated in my post, that you only quoted part of.

I'm from this area. I got my degree from Fresno State and I've been following the local news on this affair. Bottom line is I don't think Castro will fire her, but the school will suffer terribly from all this. Already donors are pulling out in big numbers and I'm talking BIG number donors. One donor who has donated over 3 million dollars said he's done. CSUF gets around 18 million in donations and because of the stupidity of this woman, the college is in for a rocky road ahead. Enrollment will be way down next year. Some of the other professors are calling for her termination too, but I don't see it happening. Castro is meeting with the union reps to see what can be done.

You posted ONE review
That review said she was " a racist bigot"

I love to read about others experiences growing up in different parts of the world. Unfortunately, this author has made a name for herself as a racist bigot. By her example, everyone should judge others according to the color of their skin, for as she states it, she hates white people. I don't recommend that anyone read or support this garbage.
Now, let's look at what you stated in your post about other reviews

Also She may have gotten away with the crude remarks about Barbara Bush, however doxing ASU's mental health line is actually a criminal offense.



So, no, you absolutely did not state in your post that there several posts from pre 2018 calling her a racist.

Never heard of the California State University, Fresno or Randa Jarrar, although apparently they have placed her/him/it on leave until they decide what action to take. Hopefully it will be sacked from it's position and have it's professorship taken away.

Obviously some third rate institution that just makes any idiot a Professor, usually in nonsense subjects.

Perhaps we need to let proper universities concentrate on STEM and areas such as Business and Law, and let these third rate colleges and universities go their own way.

Apparently she/he/it also gave a contact number which turned out to be a mental health/suicide prevention hotline in Arizona, resulting in the suicide prevention service being inundated with hate halls and thereby preventing genuinely suicidal people and those in need from using the service.

Clearly she has no regard for even suicidal and mentally ill people, never mind the late Barbara Bush and her family.

BS.

Many people, including myself, have expressed kind thoughts and warm feelings towards the Bush family even though we may disagree with their political stances.

I've always thought Laura Bush seemed incredibly kind and gracious. GWB seems like a cool guy and their daughters seem pretty rooted too. It angered me when the Peanut Gallery got all up in arms about the Bush twins :gasp: drinking at college.

“I have a lot of friends that I've been talking to, and these are people who donate now and talking about holding back, and some are even questioning whether to send their kids to Fresno State," Dunkel told the Fresno Bee.

"I admire and have a lot of respect for President (Joseph) Castro and huge affection for Fresno State," Dunkel said. "But I have huge concerns. This represents such an embarrassment to the university and the community. It's hard to believe this is an isolated thing that just happened. I have to imagine people previously knew of this person's character and what she's about."

Dumb.

One professor says something and all the sudden the entire school is questionable. GMAB. Its this type of mental ignorance that breeds anti-intellectualism today.

It doesn't matter what side of aisle you're on, saying nasty things about a person after they pass away clearly shows how immature she is along with her lack of class in how she conducts herself. Let's see how Jarrar would react if somebody did the same after she dies.

I read that she is an English professor, after seeing and reading many of expletives she said, made me wonder if that's the kind of English she teaches in college.
