California State University's Fresno campus is investigating after one of their English professors tweeted she was "happy" former first lady Barbara Bush was dead just an hour after her passing was announced.
The author and professor, Randa Jarrar, tweeted a slew of comments about Bush, calling her "a generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal."

Bush, 92, died Tuesday night just days after her family announced her health was failing.
Amid the backlash to her tweets, Jarrar, who also said she "can't wait for the rest of [the Bush] family to fall to their demise," said that she couldn't get fired from her job at Fresno State because of tenure.

“I work as a tenured professor. I make 100K a year doing that. I will never be fired. I will always have people wanting to hear what I have to say," she wrote on Twitter.
The university's provost, Lynnette Zelezny, referred to the professor's comments as "disrepectful" during a news conference Wednesday, and said the school is taking the situation "very seriously."
"We understand the concern from the community and we are taking this very seriously," Zelezny said, according to The Fresno Bee. "To answer the technical question: Can she not be fired? The answer is no."
Fresno State has reportedly not been in contact with Jarrar, who has been on a leave of absense during the spring semester.

Can be? That’s lame, just report that she HAS BEEN fired.
“To answer the technical question: Can she be fired? The answer is yes.””
But, not the same thing necessarily.
Okay.
Nor ever be married. At least to a male human being.

It is poorly phrased, but lets state it in the affirmative:
Can she be fired? The answer is yes.
I believe that is what was intended.
H.W. liberates her rathole country from the Iraqis and this is how she talks about his wife .
This is a classic example of why America should not be taking in any muslim immigrants . Zero . They need to stay over there . We do not need them , not a damn one . And those that made it in , go back .
“Here’s another technical question. Does the no before her statement negate the not or is it an affirmation.
I can’t tell if the provost is saying the professor can be fired or can’t be fired. You can interpret her statement either way.
INCREDIBLY sloppy journalism——the header is misleading.
,
She brags about making $100K.
Lol
She is a terrible writer.
Fresno State should fire her for incompetence if for no other reason.
“Someone with your qualifications would have no difficulty finding a job in either the fast food services or housekeeping sectors.”
...and replace her with someone equally as bad.
That woman really needs a burqua!
And liberals like Richard Dreyfus demands civility from conservatives. Is this their example of civility?
You’d have to sew two family-size tents together to get coverage.
I have no idea what point you’re trying to make.
‘Fresno State says Barbara Bush-bashing professor can be fired despite tenure’
Definitely a contender for “post of the day”
