Hard Leftist Mizzou Professor Fired For Threatening Student Recording BLM Protest

Observers were quick to point out the irony of a professor of journalism not understanding the First Amendment, but when one considers the ideology people like Click adhere to, it becomes much less surprising. In their view, anybody who disagrees with them is not simply wrong, but committing an act of aggression that must be actively stopped by society as a whole. What’s really ironic is that, now that she’s lost her job and could potentially face prosecution over her call to violence, Click is getting a taste of what she would have done to others:

“‘The fact that, as a professor teaching in the communication department and school of journalism, she displayed such a complete disregard for the First Amendment rights of reporters should be enough to question her competency and aptitude for her job,’ the lawmakers wrote. ‘It should be evident that these actions are inappropriate, illegal and unacceptable for a faculty member of the University of Missouri.’

In the letter, the GOP lawmakers also raised questions about Click’s research projects which her university bio states ‘involve 50 Shades of Grey readers, the impact of social media in fans’ relationship with Lady Gaga, masculinity and male fans, messages about class and food in reality television programming, and messages about work in children’s television programs.’

The Missouri House Budget Committee will consider a spending bill next week that cuts $402,000 from the Columbia campus budget – an amount equal to Click’s salary as well as that of her department chair and the dean of the College of Arts and Science – and $7.6 million from the University of Missouri System’s administrative budget.

State Rep. Chuck Basye (R) wrote to members of the Downtown Community Improvement District board that Click is a symbol that is hurting the university.

‘Everybody that I talked to said it would be a step in the right direction and would show some leadership,’ Basye said Thursday. ‘I firmly believe she should have been terminated after the first video.’

The Board of Curators had voted on January 27 to suspend Click with pay. That decision was criticized by the school’s Faculty Council and the American Association of University Professors.”
