A Purdue University professor has filed a freedom of speech suit against his school and five co-workers after getting in hot water for inflammatory statements about Muslims on his Facebook page.
Tenured political science professor Maurice Eisenstein was cleared by a university investigation into his Facebook comments, which included a reference to "the idiot Mohammad [sic}, may his name be cursed." But Eisenstein claims the investigation nonetheless damaged his reputation and disputes a finding that he retaliated against other faculty members.
“I was trying to be challenging as a professor, and do what I was trained to do,” Eistenstein, who joined the school's faculty in 1993, told FoxNews.com.
The flap unfolded late last year, when Eisenstein posted a photo of the aftermath of a massacre of Nigerian Christians, purportedly carried out by African Muslims, on his Facebook page.
"Where are the ‘moderate' Muslims' reaction to this? Oh, I forgot they are still looking at the earth as flat ...,” Eisenstein wrote above the post.

I am a Purdue grad. You remember they had Ayers down from Chicago to give a speech. Somewhere the Purdue train went off the rails. I remember gloating after Notre Dame had Obama that I was glad to be from Purdue where they would not do something that stupid. Then, I learned about Ayers. I stopped giving.
Not until your “free speech” is investigated. LOL!
Freedom of speech ends when you don't say what we want to hear professor.
You should know this after your extensive indoctrination.
Fatwa soon to follow on BurqaBook.
I’m losing track. What’s worse, saying something negative about a Black or saying something negative about a Muslim?
..depends who your talking to...
Yet another in a long, long list of reasons not to have FB.
“The Muslim Student Association could not be reached for comment”
About the massacre of Christians or the professor...we will never know.
FWIW, the Maurice Eisenstein incident occurred at Purdue-Calumet campus. Bill Ayers came to the Purdue-West Lafayette incident. I am not sure if it makes any difference.
And I was one of those protesting the Ayers appearance.
That should read ‘Purdue-West Lafayette campus’.
Imagine saying something bad about a gay black muslim...
Thanks for the information. It does not make much difference as I quit donating when Ayers came to West Lafayette. Purdue just had a streak of stupid.
