And so is any other branch of government, local, county, state, agencies and departments.<br /><br />It would simple enough to end the liberal takeover of our schools by inserting in job descriptions a total prohibition against lecturing, writing, opining based on your personal political philosophy while in a classroom setting or otherwise representing the institution, and clearly making it a firing offense to do so. <br /><br />But, since those in control favor liberal brain-creep, that will never happen. While we were distracted by the number of eggs we could count, we turned the chicken houses over to the foxes.

I, too, have watched with growing apprehension all the un-needed, un-patriotic, and un-welcomed changes that are taking place. The colleges are turning out more and more people who are not able to successfully function in life or in business, and after a ridiculously expensive education! As has been shown over and over, more young people are moving back home after college (35%) than ever before. At the present rate, I hope that we can avoid another civil war or our becoming a third world country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-16263804457009281162019-06-21T12:14:32.809-05:002019-06-21T12:14:32.809-05:00I don't think anybody is "bashing" O...I don't think anybody is "bashing" Ole Miss, per se. <br /><br />Just saying that Ole Miss has more highly public, embarrassing stuff coming out of their faculty, staff, and organizations.

College professors, journalists, and certainly judges are among those professions. Certainly those professionals should be allowed to hold personal, private opinions and beliefs, but due to the nature of the unique role these professions play in society, the public's trust in them requires them to be neutral and objective in their professional lives. Judges are required to self-recuse if there is even an appearance of impartiality (even if they do not always do so), so it should not shock the conscience of a rational person that certain other professions require the same. <br /><br />Moreover, nearly all professions require a certain level of conduct while "on the job" - an accountant who shows up for work at IBM wearing a Speedo and flipflops and carrying a sign with highly-offensive but protected speech would not be tolerated. <br /><br />The upshot of this, to me, is that it is not the specifics of this professor's language and certainly not the school at which he teaches, it is his on-the-job conduct in both injecting his personal political views inappropriately as well as bringing his employer into disrepute that warranted not only his denial of tenure but also his dismissal.<br /><br />For those who would defend his "right" to (protected) "free speech," I do not question his right to free speech, but the Constitution only prohibits the government from restricting that right (and even then, the right is not unrestrained, the famous example being the prohibition against shouting "FIRE!" in a crowded theater in which there is no fire), it does not require the government to hire and retain him if he chooses to exercise his right in a fashion incompatible with the position he wishes to hold - again, see the requirements for a judge.
