Does he realize that Florida also went for Trump, or is he that stupid?

He was a visiting professor so easy to fire. If he is visiting from another university I am sure he still has a job there.

You ask if he’s “that” stupid....what concerns me is how did someone this stupid get a job educating people?

No matter his inner feelings, can anybody with an IQ above 30 not realize that publishing such a sentiment is dumb, dumb, dumb?

Yeah, he is that stupid and thank you Lord for giving people like this with a forum to illustrate their stupidity.

This guy was actually TEACHING people!!!!

Texas doing itself proud! Watching Fox and all the wonderful Texans coming out and rescuing people. Hard to be cynical when you see Americans like this.

Whoa!!! This just doesn't happen? What's going on in this country? People being held to account for the evil, hateful things they spew?

"A visiting University of Tampa professor of sociology..." He was never taught basic manners. When a guest in somebody's house, it's not good form to insult your host. What a boorish, freaking idiot.

He'll probably join Melissa Glick at Gonzaga in Spokane. Gonzaga seems to prefer hiring such loser lefties.

Tenure is only supposed to protect professors from the backlash of unpopular opinions, not sheer stupidity ;-)
