MU professor apologizes for bullying student journalist (Melissa Click sobbing behind office door)
St. Louis Post-Dispatch ^ | November 10, 2015 | Stephen Deere, Alex Stuckey

Melissa Click shut herself in her university office on Tuesday afternoon and could be heard sobbing through the door.

A day earlier, the communications professor at the University of Missouri had helped lead a multitude of activists form a circle hundreds of yards long to block reporters from a tent encampment on Mizzou's Carnahan Quadrangle, following the resignation of University of Missouri President Timothy M. Wolfe.

A video that went viral Monday evening showed Click calling out for "muscle" to help remove a student journalist from the area.

Click emerged from her office around 5 p.m. Tuesday and released a statement apologizing for her actions. She said she had contacted the journalists involved to also apologize, and regretted that she had shifted attention from the "students' campaign for justice."

"From this experience I have learned about humanity and humility," Click said.

In a noon email Tuesday to her honors course students, Click said the chair of the communication department suggested that she remain in her office.

“I have been receiving rape and death threats and am concerned for my safety,” Click said in the email.

I’d put that bumper sticker on the car but one of those Progressives or “Tolerance” or “Celebrate Diversity” or “COEXIST” thugs would do something to the car.

I have kids, and every now and then they were spanked. I can’t help but think that “safe space” is an outgrowth of the “time out chair”.

Oh she APOLOGIZED, so everything is okay and she still gets a paycheck for teaching “Fifty Shades of Gray” to infantile students whose parents are sacrificing their retirement funds to send them to this joke of a school. Your student would get a better education elsewhere, people.

I agree. She is a hardcore lib and the rest of the faculty will circle the wagons until this blows over. But she did indeed show the ugly face of campus fascism.

Wunder how many tens of millions of people this woman would be willing to kill in order to create a “safe, inclusive & tolerant” space for her students?

That’s what she’s made of now.

This is an opportunity for her to choose a new course.

I hope she takes it, she still has a long life, and much she would positively contribute to America.

Another name for the list.

You got that right. The LIST is growing as they open their mouths.

Oh, well, that makes it all better now see? Wench.
She was more than likely laughing and the reports made it sound like she was crying.

The damn fool needs to learn where the door is and how to get a ticket back to Smashatusetts.

They think I’m sorry fixes everything.

NO.

No mercy. No quarter. No prisoners.

The “muscle” appeal is why I think she’ll be canned. The “sisterhood” won’t take kindly to her apparent need for a man to solve her “problem.”

If this woman is not suspended or fired, the whole liberal pretense that they want and demand “safe spaces” will be shown for the hypocritical sham that it is. This woman threatened a student reporter with physical violence.

If the university president had apologized for his perceived indifference to acts of racism on campus, would this woman have accepted his apology? Hell, no. Fire her!!!
