Fired LSU professor's lawsuit against LSU dismissed by federal judge
The Advocate ^ | 01/12/2018 | Joe Gyan Jr

Posted on 01/12/2018 6:18:00 PM PST by aimhigh

In a case that drew national attention and accusations of "political correctness run amok," a federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit by a former LSU professor fired in 2015 for, among other things, using vulgar language in her classroom.

Teresa Buchanan, who was a tenured education professor, claimed LSU violated her First Amendment free speech rights and also alleged the university's sexual harassment policies are unconstitutional. . . .

In a lengthy decision, Dick said Buchanan's use of profanity and discussions regarding her own sex life and the sex lives of her students in the classroom "do not constitute First Amendment protected speech, are not matters of public concern, and are not, as claimed by Plaintiff, part of her overall pedagogical strategy for teaching preschool and elementary education to students as there is no ... evidence to support such a claim."

I agree,and am dismayed that FIRE represented her——I usually like the work that they do.

Now that you mentioned it, I checked. She isn't so bad.

"The school said Buchanan created a “hostile learning environment” by violating its sexual-harassment policy. Examples include “saying ‘F*** no’ repeatedly in the presence of students, using a slang term for vagina that implies cowardice and telling a joke that the quality of sex gets worse the longer a relationship lasts,”"

The general content of the charge is nothing one doesn't hear every day or read on Free Republic, but the idea that it's part of her overall pedagogical strategy for teaching preschool and elementary education is pretty hard to buy.

Grow up, lady.

Sometimes it just gets too funny, FTA:

U.S. District Judge Shelly Dick, who heard arguments from both sides in September, ruled against Buchanan on both points Wednesday. (My emphasis.)

I believe the prof is transgender. I’ve been watching “transvestiations” on Youtube which seem to show many people on TV and movies are transgendered. There’s a bit of science behind it. The angle of the forehead, width of jaw, size of skull, “adonis belt” muscles, where navel is in relation to hips etc. ANymore it seems to be famous in Hellywood, you have to be trans. If curious, try videos by MrE on Youtube. There are many different people on youtube running these analysis. I don’t always agree with him but I’m surprised by what I did discover.

Um, yeah, I’ll definitely add this to my list of important things to do with the short span of time I have in this world...

Well, I turn on a political video and then I listen to it (don’t need to watch) so I start doing other things and sometimes I play a transvestigation with the sound off and listen to Uranium One while looking at people whom I can’t tell what planet they are from. Oh I and also watch cute dog videos and was just watching a cockatoo video. Nothing to actually look at during a political discussion.
