Conservative attorney John Eastman will retire from his role at Chapman University immediately, the school announced Wednesday, after the professor’s support for President Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results sparked backlash among his colleagues.

Faculty at the Orange County, Calif. school demanded that Eastman, who challenged the election results on Trump’s behalf, be ousted from his position after he made claims that the election was fraudulent at a rally at the White House on January 6, hours before supporters of President Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol while Congress met to tally the electoral votes.

90% orthodoxy at these Marxist schools aren’t good enough. They want 100% obedience.

If he had stayed then students would either have boycotted his classes, or signed up just to shout at him while he tried to lecture.

Would he really want to be a part of an institution that is so cringe?

Has the US become so cringe that it might be better to retire from it as well?

Chapman is actually something of a conservative school. So this is really bad.

Young people will need to build new institutions—from scratch.

The old ones are useless, overrun by leftist zombies, and need to be abandoned.

The purge is on by the powers that be. Patriotic Americans must be put in their place so the oligarchs may rule.

Indirectly.

Ya gotta think like other members of the klub, ya see?

Now it's University of Colorado that's about to defenestrate Prof. Eastman:

Eastman retires from Chapman as CU Boulder faculty seek his dismissal

(excerpt)

A letter signed by more than 700 CU Boulder students, faculty and staff called for system President Mark Kennedy and the Board of Regents to dismiss Eastman, alleging that he “egregiously violated the Faculty Pledge of the University of Colorado to uphold the Constitution of the United States.”

The letter, sent Wednesday, cited Eastman’s appearance with Rudy Giuliani, who during the rally called for “trial by combat” to determine the legitimacy of the election.

“In appearing as a prop in this grotesque play, John Eastman weaponized his academic credentials, given to him in part by this university, to solicit a seditious act against the United States that led to the invasion of the United States Capitol Building and the death of five people,” the letter stated. “We demand that he be dismissed from his position immediately, and we want a rigorous academic investigation into his scholarly conduct and work.”

CU Boulder did not provide a comment late Wednesday about whether Eastman’s departure from Chapman impacts his position in Boulder.

Notice, how quickly fraud has left the conversation of the election? Personally, I think fraud goes back to jOkeass.

And so they did.
