I'd love to see this work! However, one of the major strengths of commie/America-hating academics is tenure, the policy that says that, except for the most extreme offenses, a professor can't be fired. It was designed to ensure that professors were free to voice opinions that were unpopular without fear of being fired for stating those opinions. The commies glomed on to this license years ago.

This could backfire. Columbia won't fire the guy and academic traitors all over the country will feel enboldened. Just spend any time at a public university and you will hear anti-American stuff you wouldn't believe.

The professor in this case doesn't have tenure.

Even if he did have tenure, he can still be fired for certain egregious statements.

Teaching hatred and violence against U. S. military personnel doesn't seem "egregious" to some people, but it does to most of us. And we can enforce our standards of common decency if we work at it.

I'm not worried about any "backlash" from doing the right thing.

I don't think he is tenured.

"However, one of the major strengths of commie/America-hating academics is tenure..."

But I believe that I read on another thread, in this particular instance, that this is an UNTENURED professor.

Professor De Genova, who is untenured and teaches anthropology and Latino studies.

"Professor" De Genova is not tenured.
