MU professor apologizes for bullying student journalist (Melissa Click sobbing behind office door)
St. Louis Post-Dispatch ^ | November 10, 2015 | Stephen Deere, Alex Stuckey

Melissa Click shut herself in her university office on Tuesday afternoon and could be heard sobbing through the door.

A day earlier, the communications professor at the University of Missouri had helped lead a multitude of activists form a circle hundreds of yards long to block reporters from a tent encampment on Mizzou's Carnahan Quadrangle, following the resignation of University of Missouri President Timothy M. Wolfe.

A video that went viral Monday evening showed Click calling out for "muscle" to help remove a student journalist from the area.

Click emerged from her office around 5 p.m. Tuesday and released a statement apologizing for her actions. She said she had contacted the journalists involved to also apologize, and regretted that she had shifted attention from the "students' campaign for justice."

"From this experience I have learned about humanity and humility," Click said.

"She has resigned."

Thanks for the update. There is still some justice in the world.

"I’d put that bumper sticker on the car but one of those Progressives or “Tolerance” or “Celebrate Diversity” or “COEXIST” thugs would do something to the car."

I would never drive into Seattle with a conservative bumper sticker on my car. Even here in the suburbs, Republican campaign signs are typically defaced.

"It's close," Thorson said of the vote. "But we have some strong voices concerned about fairness (to Click)."

Reminds me of...

Did anyone call the campus cops and report her for “hurtful speech” and demand she be arrested?

Nope. The left TRULY hates freedom.

Same thing that happened in Ferguson.

Phony contrition.

They’ll probably make her department chairman.

If Melissa Click really cares about people’s rights, especially children, why hasn’t she organized a protest or coalition to address America’s expanding and shameful *National Epidemic of Childhood Abuse and Neglect*, *Poverty*, that for more than two generations has deprived untold numbers of American kids from experiencing and enjoying a fairly happy American kid childhood with Safe Streets to travel and play on,

*Child Abuse and Neglect* that is primarily responsible for populating our prisons with depressed, angry, frustrated, undisciplined, unpredictable, sometimes suicidal teens and adults full of resentment for irresponsibly being introduced to a life of hardships and struggles.

*Early Childhood Abuse and Neglect* that often leads depressed, sometimes suicidal *(NY Times May 18, 2015 - Rise in Suicide by Black Children Surprises Researchers)* children to develop into depressed, angry, frustrated, unpredictable, sometimes suicidal teens and adults lacking empathy and compassion for others, though needing to vent their pent up negative emotions, often causing emotional and physical harm to peaceful people...instead of venting their anger, resentment and pain on the immature single moms and/or dads who introduced them to a life of pain and struggle by irresponsibly building a family before acquiring the practical skills, *PATIENCE* and means to successfully raise and nurture a developing young child who matures into a fairly happy responsible teen and adult.

Huh? What would that accomplish?

Just fire her and be done with it.

She’d never leave the mosque, thus no EEOC trial and waste of taxpayer cash no MSM campaigns and no poor little martyr for liberals to glom onto for PR value. In fact she would never ‘leave’ anywhere. She’d just be gone forever.

Not seeing a downside really.

Yeah...nothing will happen to her. I think she projects her thoughts into what her "students" think....

The left lie and do anything to get what they want.

Not unlike Islam...in many ways.
