Bush-bashing professor has Fresno State scrambling to keep its donors

A Fresno State professor who called the late Barbara Bush “racist” soon after her death Tuesday, and said she was glad “the witch is dead,” continues to face fallout as donors mull ceasing donations to the institution.

Randa Jarrar, an English professor at the school (also known as California State University at Fresno), sparked outrage Tuesday just hours after the former first lady died at age 92, writing a number of tweets attacking Bush and the family.

“Barbara Bush was a generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal. F*** outta here with your nice words,” the professor tweeted. “I’m happy the witch is dead. Can’t wait for the rest of her family to fall to their demise the way 1.5 million Iraqis have.”

Jarrar, a tenured professor, boasted on social media that because she has tenure, she won’t be fired from her job. She’s currently on leave this semester and was reportedly traveling overseas.

They are “mulling” no donations? I’ll believe it when it happens.

If the alumni and the board of trustees are OK with her BS then let THEM live with the consequences. :)

As I have always said... these kinds of things are ALWAYS an HR problem... someone THERE made a decision they will have to justify...somehow!

THAT’S where the problems begin.

Awwwww. Maybe they should consider terminating her. Nah. Free speech and all that. Oh plus, no doubt, she would have some uber high powered liar, uh, lawyer pro bono-ing the case in a flash. So Fresno state, enjoy the spotlight she’s got shining on you. Hopefully it’s solar powered

Lesbian, yes.

Black, no. She appears to be a severely overweight
Middle Eastern type.

Nah, she’s palastinian colored. She claims she’s a palastinian-American. Kinda like I’m Dutch American. And to the donors who are “mulling” your continued support......Do it. We dare you. Guilt by ass-ociation.

Free speech? Where do these groups stand on so-called “hate speech”? Speech codes? “Safe zones”?

Tenure should be done away with IMO but if it is going to exist, the purpose is to allow profs to express different points of view when teaching their academic subjects....different scientific theories, different historical interpretations, etc. It was not meant to be a complete free pass for profs to just spew bile and bring opprobrium to their employer. That should always be considered to be outside the scope of the protections afforded by tenure.

What’s wrong with universities these days, they should be celebrating this leftist trash.
A female!
A pioneer!
A bastion of (leftist-approved) free speech!

Perhaps the only positive thing to come from instances such as this is that it identifies that particular university as one lacking academic standards of any kind because the so-called “professor” has the intellect of a rock. And, should she not be fired (and she won’t) the administration is outed as liberal, spineless and corrupt. (But I repeat myself.

You can lose tenure...although it’s awful hard. What they might do is hustle up some mental eval, and suggest that she’s suffering a breakdown, and she just walks out the backdoor with a limited pay-out deal. I have my doubts that she’ll be a full-time lecture person come the fall.

They should tap Roger Stone for a donation.
His opinions of Mrs Bush track the profs.
