An Indiana University professor who presented the slogan "Make America Great Again" as a form of white supremacy that is "worse than police killing people of color" is no longer employed at the institution.
In a graduate-level course, "Diversity, Human Rights and Social Justice," instructor Jessica Adams showed a pyramid graphic listing statements and actions that she called overt forms of white supremacy, which included lynching and racial slurs.
Alongside these acts was a list of what Adams calls covert white supremacy, which includes the Trump campaign slogan "Make America Great Again" and failing to challenge racial jokes. Kalea Benner, the dean of the School of Social Work, complained that the way the chart structures the hierarchy of acts, the slogan is listed as "worse than police killing people of color." Adams disputes that the chart makes that suggestion.
In September, a student complained about the lesson to Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind., and Banks contacted the university to say the lesson made the student uncomfortable, the New York Times reported.
The university investigated Adams, who isn't tenured, under an Indiana law that aims to prevent students from being subjected to political views that are unrelated to the course. Critics say the law undermines diversity of discourse on campuses. In October, the university suspended Adams from teaching the course, and in May the university said it wouldn't reappoint her. Her employment ends this month.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), a free-speech group, is advocating on Adams' behalf through its fund that provides external legal representation to faculty to help them engage with their institutions' disciplinary or appeals processes.
“Universities should not bow to outside pressure to terminate faculty merely because others dislike what they teach,” Zach Greenberg, a lawyer with FIRE, said in a statement.

Good news from our education system for a change.
The most important thing we can do right now is to “purge” Academia of all Marxists. Otherwise, we will continue to produce more Mamdani’s and AOC’s and they will become our Representatives in Congress. Eventually one of them will get in the White House.
Yep.
The universities need to go out of business. Be replaced with STEM schools.

>In a graduate-level course, “Diversity, Human Rights and Social Justice,”
Anyone involved in signing off on that course being in the course catalog should be fired as well. It is long past time to get the universities back on track.
Most of the DEI HR departments have been shut down.
Good luck her finding a job in the private sector.
Now do the SPLC.
Typical hierarchy/pecking order among tenure-track academics: (the media rarely gets these right, though the differences between groups are large.)
Instructor / Lecturer: The starting rank for teaching-focused faculty. They focus primarily on classroom instruction and usually do not have tenure.
Assistant Professor: The entry-level rank for tenure-track faculty. They generally have 5-7 years to undergo a rigorous review process (based heavily on research and publishing) to either earn tenure or leave the university. (Publish or perish).
Associate Professor: A mid-level rank achieved after successfully earning tenure. This position provides significant job security and freedom to pursue more ambitious research.
Professor (Full Professor): The highest standard rank for an academic. Reaching this level requires considerable, internationally recognized contributions to their field.
Distinguished / Endowed Professor: An honorary or heavily funded rank awarded to a select few professors who have achieved preeminence in their discipline.
Adjunct Professor is a non-tenured track part timer.
Note her septum ring showing she's a ministress of the ideologies of feminism, man-hating, anti-Caucasian racism, and perpetual victimhood.
Gllad you pointed that out. I hadn;t noticed thatm and even with the use of 2 mahnifying glasses I still had trouble seeing it, due to my macular degeneration. How right you are. Good catch. 😁🤙
She will have no problem at all,,,,,,,she will be highly recruited by democrats everywhere.
Translation - Big contributors got wind and wanted her gone before she was eligible for tenure.
It’s fun when a white person decries white supremacy and expects to remain in her job.
Maybe she needs to see the movie to change things for herself?
1964 drama Black Like Me.In the film, James Whitmore plays a white journalist who darkens his skin using a combination of medication, sunlamp treatments, and dye to experience life as an African-American.
Or she’s one of those people that aren’t happy with anything?.
