    On Thursday, Ken Shepherd at NewsBusters noted that Kansas University journalism professor David Guth, in the wake of Monday's Navy Yard murders, tweeted, "The blood is on the hands of the #NRA. Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters. Shame on you. May God damn you." In an update which now also includes a defense of Guth by a former student, Ken noted that he has placed on administrative leave. Yesterday, I noted that the headline at the Associated Press's national site after Guth's suspension ("KU Professor Takes Heat Over Twitter Comment") avoided mentioning KU's discliplinary action against...

    College classrooms are supposed to be politically neutral, not indoctrination centers for liberalism. Yet, we have conservative parents who save money for decades to send their children to universities that teach everything conservatives believe is wrong. We have Republican state legislatures that fund colleges whose first goal is to teach college kids to vote Republicans out of office. We have colleges that claim to care deeply about diversity; yet they work overtime to keep conservative professors and conservative speakers off campus. It's time to draw a line in the sand and say, "Communists, bombers, criminals, deviants, and political activists masquerading...

The tweet didn’t attract much attention until Campus Reform.org posted a story Thursday, sparking a social media backlash that’s spilled over into some state lawmakers calling for his...

    University of Kansas officials criticized a journalism professor Thursday, saying remarks that he tweeted regarding Monday’s shootings at the Washington Navy Yard were “repugnant.” David Guth tweeted Monday that “blood is on the hands” of the National Rifle Association following the shootings that left 13 people dead. “Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters,” the tweet read. “Shame on you. May God damn you.” On Thursday, Ann Brill, dean of the university’s journalism school, said Guth’s views “do not represent our school, and we do not advocate violence directed against any group or individuals.” While the First Amendment...
