FRESNO, Calif. -- A California State University, Fresno professor who called Barbara Bush "an amazing racist" and cheered her death will not be punished, the president of the university announced Tuesday. Randa Jarrar was acting as a private citizen using her personal Twitter account so her remarks didn't violate any California State University or campus policies, Fresno State President Joseph Castro wrote in announcing the results of a review.

I could respect that if Conservatives were shown the same amount of deference for ill-advised Tweets on private accounts.

The thing is, they never are.

Be Careful what you think or wish for. You could be fired next.

What no one seems to understand is that Fresno just trashed its "brand".

They just gave prospective employers a reason to file ANY Fresno State grad's job application in the circular file.

"Hi! I'm a Fresno State grad, and I'm PROUD that my alma mater's free speech policies have reduced my chances of getting a job!"

"Derp!"

If you just spent tens of thousands of dollars on a Fresno State diploma, you have to be feeling the love.

"Free speech" for employers, bmwcyle...    winking facesmiling face

“There is a policy against embarrassing the institution at every institution. If she had said the same thing about Martin Luther King, she would be out on her ear.”

Or anything against ANY MUSLIM, e.g. allah, mohammand
etc.

What you deny one person can be turned on you. It did not really matter what she said but it is put in front of you to react. You are better to ignore it because today’s college is full of people who think like her. Allow free speech or lose it.

You appear to be missing the point.

Would you show up at a job interview wearing your Fresno State alum t-shirt, emblazoned with a picture of Jarrar the Hutt flipping off the world?

That's what she just "necklaced" all Fresno State grads with.

I would be p*ssed - but apparently that generation isn't bright enough to figure it out...

I just went round & round with some 30-year-old Bernie bro on Twitter that didn't get the concept.

They're not teaching critical thought or simple economics in the universities these days, I guess.

If Randa Jarrar had called a black person 'a nigger' on her "personal Twitter account" would Fresno State President Joseph Castro have come to the same conclusion?

I don't think so...

What you say is true, this person has a right to free speech, but not a right to free speech without consequences. If she made comments as a representative of the school, she can be held accountable by the school. They could say that she does not represent the values of the school and fire her. If the school does nothing it just says a mouthful about the values of the institution.

Imagine being a job-seeking Fresno State alum and having to put "Fresno State" on your resume.

Jarrar and the University just shat upon all those sheepskins.

Some employers won't want to touch those smelly things.    smiling face
