should a "tenured" professor of a state funded university be fired for espousing views/beliefs beyond that of what the people who pay his salary want?

Absolutely not. The university has clearly defined rules protecting his academic freedom which specifically state that he cannot be fired for expressing views contrary to those of the university administration.
