The University of Pennsylvania has laid off its communications lecturer—who published a slew of anti-Semitic cartoons—just a year after standing by him, citing the school’s "bedrock commitment to open expression." The dismissal coincided with the Trump administration’s decision to freeze $175 million in federal funding to the school.

The Annenberg School for Communication lecturer, Dwayne Booth, announced his unemployment in a Patreon post on Friday. Booth said "the reason for the termination was budgetary," but accused universities nationwide of being "way too complicit" with a "largely Republican-led effort" to target left-wing voices.

"I was informed that the reason for the termination was budgetary, which I think is the same reason they gave to Jesus just before they crucified him

[EinNYC]

His scrawls are manifestations of a very sick mind. Our students don’t need sickos like this in a position of influence.

At all, anywhere, ever.

[ronnie raygun]

[rktman]

[Texas Eagle]

Really? Being laid off is equivalent to being crucified?

This guy is not only anti-semitic, he's anti-intelligent.

[A_Former_Democrat]

He wasn’t “laid off” Under these circumstances the hateful jerkoff got his ass FIRED

[ChildOfThe60s]

When you see a person like this you just have this sensation of how pleasurable it would be if you could just punch him in the face

[13Sisters76]

“Freedom of speech” NEVER protected hateful acts against a targeted minority.
People need to know who the real nazis are and it isn’t Trump supporters.

[blackdog]

U of Propaganda.

[blackdog]

He just moved his desk to the next NGO down the block. Don’t be fooled.

[allendale]

Is it irony or self hatred that the majority of U Penn’s major donors are Jewish?

[LouAvul]

Our colleges are a cancer on our country and need to be exposed and shuttered.

[Gaffer]

..... I think is the same reason they gave to Jesus just before they crucified him

He should be fired for the narcissism alone....sheesh.

[ridesthemiles]

AMAZING how many truly sick persons are being found out by TRUMP & ELON.....

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Tables have turned. Once being “hate Trump” was a great career move. Now it only leads to a loss in Federal funds and banishment. Where will this “cartoonist” work now? A left wing newspaper, before it closes its doors?
