In a rational world there would be no difference, but the American educational system is anything but rational these days. LOTS of people have been expelled from American universities for speech that the school didn't like, despite it being protected by the First Amendment.

Rebranding dozing off as "racist" in order to push for dismissal is the core point here.

Skim the rest of the article. Apparently people have had issues with her. Also, it was a (white) student who started the petition for her termination

You don't have to leave somewhere just because you don't like it. You can change it.

Thomas Jefferson and George Washington understood that. Why don't you?

*shrug* I'm not surprised by any of that. The most annoyingly woke types are often white.

Generally speaking, if there was a decent case for removal one would not have to try to invent seriously racial allegations out of someone falling asleep at a meeting.

As is the case with most America-haters.
