Should make for a lucrative lawsuit by the professor.

There was nothing wrong with what he posted, provided he was actually willing to follow through with his offer.

The comment, which has since been deleted, read: "A bus ticket from Rochester to Canada is $16. If this is not your America, then I will pay for your ticket if you promise never to come back."

I saw on ABC this morning Zuckerberg is going to filter out fake news.

So anything pro-Trump will be not allowed.

Oooo! Big Scoop. And they destroyed a man’s career.

Good Job, Kids! Here’s your Participation Trophy.

Federal funding to universities need to be stopped until universities have a 50/50 ratio of liberal/conservative profs.

That's it! His school should be burned to the ground!

Trump needs to start looking seriously at which of these indoctrination and programming centers we want to shut down. They are destroying America’s youth.

Well it seems he has kept his job there, he is just standing down from that particular position.

If I am reading this right.

Oh the horrors of someone on the Right having a voice on a university campus.

Had Hillary won, there would have been no problem for anyone suggesting the same sorts of things for Trump supporters.

This double-standard PC crap really needs to be attacked.

This guy was given an ultimatum I’m sure. He should have said, “Hell no! Nothing I said was any different than the students themselves who promised to move to Canada. If I’m wroing, then they were wrong. Is anyone asking them to step down?

The left forced him to retract and apologize.

No doubt Joel Seligman was behind it. He was the one offering apres-Trump counseling sessions and safe space cry-ins for U of R students.

Freedom of speech is dead, especially in the hollowed hallowed halls of non academia.

Truly the left hates the first amendment.

One among many individual freedoms the left hates. They hate the many individual freedoms afforded by the pinnacle of liberty in human history, namely America. These freedoms hinder their lust to rule over us. That is why they hate America and the shackles of the Constitution so much.
