...
University officials later issued statements denouncing the comments and distancing themselves from Muir. The professor has since taken leave, according to the university.

Yes, the Ku Klux Klan doesn’t have a “Klu”.

No freedom of speech when you disagree with the modern fascists.

To: rlmorel
Thank you. I find it discouraging how much our world today looks like a blend between the worlds of 1984, Animal Farm, Atlas Shrugged, and other novels that were intended as warnings. The socialists that Orwell and Rand feared are using their works as blueprints.

Reportedly the name Ku Klux comes from the Greek kuklos ( = cyclos), meaning "circle."

Yes...I have heard those exact sentiments along those lines of “...it was supposed to be a warning, not an instructional manual...”

I have read “Atlas Shrugged”, “Animal Farm” and “1984” many times. I just finished listening to 1984 again recently (my eyes suck) and I found it even more disturbing than the other times I have read it.
Also, “The Gulag Archipelago” is an example of living, breathing, reality of what Orwell and Rand were concerned about, and it has (and is) coming true.

The Nwo supposedly took over Uva years ago. Most of the students probably agree with him. That’s why they don’t allow the truth to be spoken.

Academic freedom no longer exists at UVA with a long history. I’m shocked at the comments of the administrators, forget the leftist lynch mob of his “fellow” professors.
These administrators are cowards, plain and simple. The man makes a comment, not a declared statement of racist hate, and he gets pilloried.
Time for al UVA alumni to “say it Loud, Say it Proud”, UVA you ain’t getting no more money to support your fascist and Marxist speech policies.
To: Verginius Rufus
Thanks. I’m always happy to learn something I didn’t know before. FR is great for that. :^)
