I don't want him fired just don't think that academic freedom should be used as justification for a professor to spout off views on which he has no proof.

I find it very difficult to say that a janitor who cleans buildings deserves to die because the people that works in that building may or may not be supporting an economic system that he feels is wrong/damaging whatever. And that therefore those involve in the economic deserve to die.

There are issues that are not 100% true or false and there needs to be leeway on what professors can teach and what they can't.

I don't feel that this situation warrants that leeway. I think his view is too far out there to fit within the parameters of what is within reason.
