    Did you know you are only one click away from helping fire him too?

    I wonder how UCLA will factor in that change.org is the protagonist here and not 20,000 student votes.

    Pretty chilling that you can be cancelled by an on line poll where the poller actually mostly gets a bigger mailing list.

      I am guessing the professor will not be fired, I don't think we're quite that off the rails yet.

      Education is extremely important.

        I suppose she's obligated to mention how disgusted she is with the CEO's words

        Of course she's obligated. It's what you do to NOT become a target.

        @Improviso Yeah; like Horace said, it's sad -- especially when you consider the better strategy might be for her to stand with the Crossfit guy. It would be a good opportunity to begin applying the brakes to this insane juggernaut.

        That's what needs to happen: less sucking up and moar Sparta.

          The University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) suspended Gordon Klein, an accounting professor in the Anderson School of Business where he's been teaching for 39 years, for three weeks beginning on June 25 after he declined a student's request to delay a final exam in light of Floyd's death, the Free Beacon reports.

          The Malibu Police Department reportedly has an increased police presence outside Klein's home after multiple threats.

          Can you even imagine the reaction of the left if our culture contained systematic elements of violence and social/economic excommunication whenever left-leaning folk didn't toe the line for whatever flavor of the day outrage the fringe of the right came up with? Meanwhile, the right accepts this stuff because this is, in fact, normal life for us.

            And I'm not loving the university's wimpy solution: Three weeks suspension -- a "punishment" that won't overly harm the professor yet hopefully will be taken as an acceptable appeasement.

            OTOH, things are so nutty now that if the U didn't do some sort of appeasement, maybe zillions of Floyd mourners would march out, and then where would they be? Worser and worser.

              The good professor, of 39 years, may be burned out. An old man being sarcastic with kids born with a social media device in their hands demonstrates suicidal tendencies or lack of situational awareness.

                suicidal is probably stretching it. At some point some civilian courage is not suicidal, it's just the duty of a human being capable of seeing through at least the top layer of our insane group-think.

                  In other news, yours truly has come under fire for rejecting the statement that my branch of science is founded on "white supremacy".

                          These are really crazy times. As if there were a competition between Trump and the progressives about who is the craziest.

                            Trump is one person with a shtick. The left continues to careen off the rails as a group, displaying everything wrong and pathetic with the human psyche.
