The story is wrong. He did not apologize. He only apologized to Texas Democrats.

He wasn’t just messing with Texas, he was messing with the whole country!

And the real ‘funny’ thing is that Houston went for Hillary, IIRC

Is a visiting professor of sociology a real job? Or, I guess I should ask is, WAS a visiting professor of sociology a real job?

Yes. Time to get him canned from his other teaching job at the Hillsborough Community College. Here’s the contact info for the school president:

Amazing how godless commies are until it seems fate is working for them. Suddenly they seem to think God is punishing conservatives.

Again. “Professor” is code for retarded fag.
It’s like saying “hey, this retarded fag says _____”
WHO CARES! Who doesn’t already know that they want normal Americans dead? Who is so slow as to not be ready to kill them first?

Just one more example of the peace and love on the Left.
This guy isn’t a radical on the streets.
He’s main stream.
Point to one Conservative professor/teacher that spews stuff like this.
The papers will trash this guy and say something like, “This is no more acceptable when our side does it occasionally, even though the other side does it all the time.”
lie spin destroy hate
The Left at it’s usual games...

What he said was stupid and spiteful. But I don’t like the trend of people getting fired because of social media reaction over political opinions. If he had made a threat of violence or if he had admited he desciminated based on his prejudice at his job it would have been different. But his statement was merly spiteful and stupid. He may be a bigot, but I think it a bad idea to fire people for being bigoted. The potential for abuse is high.

This is what America is. No one is happier than an American helping his neighbors, feeding people, comforting. Every one in a while you start to get a bit cynical and then something like this happens and you watch everyone head out to help any way they can. It fills your heart with so much pride.
Oh yeah. And God Bless Texas

It’s called “karma” and it’s pronounced “ha, ha, ha”.
To: tje
Not only is it awfully bad karma, but it's also profoundly stupid. The City of Houston, like most cities, voted for Hillary.
(It's Texas, not New York, so Houston didn't vote overwhelmingly for Hillary, but it still voted for Hillary.)

But I dont like the trend of people getting fired because of social media reaction over political opinions.
I think this is completely appropriate, and in fact, rather than being a new trend, this is a return (or continuation) of normal standards of behavior. If you worked for any organization back in, say, the 50s or 60s and you made some public statement along the lines of "Texans deserve the flood because I don't like them" or "Californians are a**holes" or "Italians should all be put in jail" you'd probably be fired then, as well, simply because, as an employee of that organization, you are seen as their representative. Professional conduct was expected.
The main difference that makes this tricky now is that, in the old days it was a bit of an effort to make a "public" statement. You had to have a microphone in your face or go around holding up signs and making chants in a way that got on the news. Now, it is incredibly easy to make a public statement that can reach the entire globe via the internet, and virtually anyone can record you at any time, or "re-tweet" whatever dumb thing you post. And this all occurs at a time when we are reaching a new low in standards of public conduct. In other words, at a time when people feel free to show their asses in public, it has become trivial to show that ass to the world instantly.
Maybe a bloodbath of firings and whatnot will bring back some level of professionalism among people.
