My local CC fired my freshman physics professor just because he told some girl in my class: "You need to grow up" , after she complained the test was too hard...

That is something that I would consider outrageous (firing a prof for telling a student complaining about an exam to grow up), absent some other compelling background context that showed the prof was otherwise inappropriate, unprofessional, etc. Telling a student to "grow up" is not itself unprofessional, especially if the student is a whiner, as so many are..... but the case of Daly and his outlandish verbal assault on a student simply for being a conservative is quite a different matter.
