The university said he was just trying to support women's rights when he called for political violence. The professor who was caught on video calling for male voters to be shot if they refused to support Vice President Kamala Harris has been fired from his job at the University of Kansas.
Video of Dr. Phil Lowcock joking about executing male voters quickly went viral on Wednesday.
"Guys are smarter than girls. You got some serious problems. It's what frustrates me," said Lowcock in a classroom full of college students.
"There are gonna be some males in our society that will refuse to vote for a potential female president because they don't think females are smart enough to be president," he added. "We can line all those guys up and shoot them. They clearly don't understand the way the world works. Did I say that? Scratch that from the recording. I don't want the deans hearing that I said that."
Lowcock was immediately placed on administrative leave by the university, but two days later, it said he had been terminated. The university said administrators were โworking to identify a new instructor to assume the responsibility for his classes, and we are working with the students impacted by this change.โ
Republican Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas had called for Lowcock's termination, and he welcomed the decision.
"I am glad to report that the professor who called for men to be 'lined up and shot,' declaring open season on people who donโt plan to vote for Kamala Harris, ๐ถ๐ ๐ป๐ผ ๐น๐ผ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐จ," he posted on social media.
The university initially released a statement claiming that the professor was merely trying to support women's rights when he said male voters should be lined up and executed.
As a reluctant Jayhawk, I’m really surprised by this. Commies stick together there in Lawrence. Happy news.
He’ll quickly find another position and even more liberal institution.........................
Good and good riddance to that evil excuse of a professor.
Heโd be much more at home at Harvard, Yale or any other Ivy League university.
My guess is he heads to Berkeley..................
Likely a resume enhancer for elite schools.
BS. He said it, because he believes it and he meant it. Heโs a moron.
Isn’t this exactly the kind of speech the Democrats want to outlaw?
The “Flaw on the Kaw” got one right.
Phil Lowcock....*chortle*
Are you kidding? White male. Easy call.
Doesn’t look like a guy who gets laid very often. Perhaps this will do the trick. With his looks and age what is there left to live for?
Same with DEI. Looks like the powers-that-be don’t want to deal with that stuff either.
Boy needs to be taught some manners...
Itโs not about gender, you idiot, itโs about ideas. Liberal MEN, as well as liberal WOMEN, are either idiots, or evil, or both.
Universities are deep pocket, so the administrators are afraid of liability.
Rats leave when lights are shined on them.
Find more flashlights.
Do you mean ... Phil "No"cock?
