Judge Tarvald Smith ruled on Tuesday that LSU cannot interfere with tenured law professor Ken Levy’s employment, including suspension, over the incident.
Levy was caught on a recording saying “F*** the governor,” in reference to Landry, and “I couldn’t believe that f***er won,” in reference to Trump.

Free speech.
The First Amendment which should protect abortion protestors also protects this excrement.
Don’t like it?
Take it up with Ben Franklin and John Adams!
“F**k this judge. I can’t believe that he was appointed.”
The first amendment protects him.
If students had any brains, they would refuse to take any classes from him. If the college demands that they do, the students should demonstrate against the demand, or leave the school, or both.
Just shut LSU down.
It would be easy through not providing funding through the Fed gov’t, La. State subsidies, Gov’t loans, alumna Ca$h.
It would only take a week or so to get the place straightened out.
I am sure that LSU has a faculty code of conduct which prohibits making students feel intimidated for their beliefs and appropriate use of language. LSU saw fit to fire him. Professors from other state universities (with opposite political views) were fired for much less.
“’Offence’ is in the eye of the ‘offended’” is positively Orwellian.
guessing he wasn’t complaining from his front lawn or the sidewalk
furthermore, try that type of thing at one’s office
this is looking to be more of a tenure thing than 1A
Or abusing 1A to prevent tenure.

“If students had any brains, they would refuse to take any classes from him.”
It’s law school, the students are not going to risk disrupting their academic track.
or abusing policy because tenured
ultimately contracts are enforceable, and if there were no related termination clauses in the contract, I’d be inclined to support his reinstatement
regardless, he’s been outed as an a-hole
Can that decision be appealed?
Looks like Tarvold the stooge found himself a new boyfriend.
DEI strikes America!
One of the bad things about America is employers can’t fire the POS they hire accidentally because they couldn’t get employment info from others who had to fire the jackass’goatsmellin’ azz. America is a haven and sanctuary for freeloading malingerers.
