It's plain to see that this man didn't lose his job because of some tweets. He lost his job because he was on the "wrong" side of the issue.

When I was in college 50 years ago, all matter of free speech was encouraged and allowed. It was, after all, a place of learning and probing of young minds for new awareness.

Today, however, it is a completely different picture. Any speech, language, social media comments, tweets or casual conversation with a classmate, can "trigger" offended "victims" to protest, demand ousters, firings and their own, private safe spaces to withdraw from the evil, bad world of speech they don't like (or are taught they shouldn't like, as in conservative views).

And, of course, the weak-kneed administrators of these institutions of propagandized learning, buckle and give-in at the slightest hint of protest or offense taken by just a few students but sometimes of only one person complaining.

The tragedy about this is that these training grounds for "victims", "haters" and "offended ones" will be the ultimate downfall of our country.

If you teach young people to hate their country and it's values, then who among them will stand up and step forward to defend that country when the time warrants it? None.

Until we get a handle on this zombiafication of our young people in our schools and universities by the radical, political far Left, we will continue to slide into chaos and division.

I place the blame at the feet of the democRATS and their liberal followers.
