WICHITA, Kan. — A University of Kansas journalism professor was placed on indefinite administrative leave Friday for a tweet he wrote about the Navy Yard shootings which said, “blood is on the hands of the #NRA. Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters.” David W. Guth, an associate professor of journalism, made the comment on Twitter after Monday’s shootings in Washington, D.C., in which 13 people died, including the gunman. The tweet didn’t attract much attention until Campus Reform.org posted a story Thursday, sparking a social media backlash that’s spilled over into some state lawmakers calling for his dismissal.

Just another thing to be grateful for. Our high-tech capitalist nation has given us tweeting so as to expose the nuttiest professors.

For many decades journalism professors said dumb things as part of their tenure requirements. They had to write long published papers. Now they can write dumb things in 140 characters and the press falls over themselves to report it.

Whatever, bitch. OUR sons and daughters don’t live in gun-control zones where insane self-obsessed liberals like this M-F and the Ft Hood jihadist shoot people indiscriminately. Why don’t you leave Kansas and come teach in CHICAGO where your teachings bear fruit, hmm? Or are you too afraid?

What a very hateful thing to say!

Makes me wonder how subtle a propagandist he could be when he is in control. Is he always this blatant when he is in class?

Pretty clearly the perp was a supporter of liberalism, an Obama voter and not an NRA member.

I certainly think he has called his own mental health into question. I think he should get a 72-hour mental evaluation/time out.

Involuntary commitment for making terroristic threats.

Works for me.

No, no, no! You want him to live a long and fruitful life as a Walmart greeter.
