Five Things Professors Actually Said In 2017
Most Americans expect college professors to be beacons of knowledge and wisdom, or at least to exercise more maturity than their teenage students.

Every year, however, Campus Reform comes across professors who unashamedly make outrageous, preposterous, and downright absurd remarks in their classrooms and on social media, denigrating conservatives and their viewpoints.
In 2017, President Trump’s first year in the Oval Office brought academic rage to new heights as professors frequently blasted the Commander-in-Chief and berated his voters, traditional conservatives, and anyone who does not embrace progressivism.
Here are five things that professors actually said in 2017:
1) Prof suggests Texans deserve hurricane for supporting Trump (https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=9660)
A University of Tampa professor was so upset about the outcome of the 2016 presidential election that he publicly suggested that Texans deserved Hurricane Harvey because the state voted Republican last year.
“I don’t believe in instant Karma but this kinda feels like it for Texas,” Professor Ken Storey (https://www.ut.edu/KennethStorey/) tweeted in August. “Hopefully this will help them realize the GOP doesn’t care about them.”
Shortly after the controversial remarks, the university announced (https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=9668) that it had fired the professor.
2) Prof says House GOP ‘should be lined up and shot’ (https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=9154)
An Art Institute of Washington professor was so furious about the House GOP’s effort to repeal and replace Obamacare that he said GOP lawmakers “should be lined up and shot” for their actions.
“They should be lined up and shot,” Professor John Griffin wrote on his Facebook page. “That’s not hyperbole; blood is on their hands.”
3) Prof calls whites 'inhuman assholes,' says 'let them die' (https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=9334)
In June, Trinity College professor Johnny Eric Williams made national headlines after appearing to suggest that the first responders should have let the victims of the congressional shooting "fucking die” because they are white.
“It is past time for the racially oppressed to do what people who believe themselves to be ‘white’ will not do, put end to the vectors of their destructive mythology of whiteness and their white supremacy system. #LetThemFuckingDie,” Williams wrote in a Facebook post, including the hashtag as an apparent reference to an op-ed with the same title that he had shared two days earlier.
Following his controversial remarks, Williams was placed on leave but is slated to return to teaching in 2018.
4) Prof says Otto Warmbier 'got exactly what he deserved' (https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=9350)
A University of Delaware professor claimed that Otto Warmbier, a young American who died after being held in a North Korean prison camp, “got exactly what he deserved.”
Professor Katherine Dettwyler made her remarks on her personal Facebook page and in the comments section of an article published by National Review.
Dettwyler maintained that Warmbier behaved like a “spoiled, naive, arrogant U.S. college student who never had to face the consequences of his actions” when he visited North Korea, and that he had a “typical mindset of a lot of the young, white, rich, clueless males” she teaches.
5) Drexel prof blames 'whiteness' for Texas massacre (https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=10124)
George Ciccariello-Maher, an assistant professor at Drexel University who made headlines by calling for “white genocide” last year, was at it again in 2017.
In early November, the academic pinned the blame for the Texas massacre that killed 26 people on what he called “whiteness” and “entitlement.”
“Whiteness is never seen as a cause, in and of itself, of these kinds of massacres, of other forms of violence,” Ciccariello-Maher said in an interview with Democracy Now!, asserting that “whiteness is a structure of privilege and it’s a structure of power, and a structure that, when it feels threatened, you know, lashes out.”
