True, true.

Anyway, back to the thread at hand. Barbara being a war criminal and millions of civilian Iraqi deaths.

RIP, Barbara Bush certainly had accomplishments of her own and supported many causes like homelessness, literacy and notably for the politically inclined, she supported the ERA and happened to be pro-choice. In fact, Reagan used that against George Bush in the primaries.

Having recently lost an elderly parent who lived a good life, no death is good, its always a tragedy when someone expires and the life goes out of them.

Fresno State says it can’t discipline the professor who called Barbara Bush an ‘amazing racist’

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.59b2f0760eca

“I will never be fired,” Jarrar wrote on Twitter.

To scores of critics, it was “challenge accepted.” They tagged Fresno State President Joseph I. Castro in tweets, and they emailed him and wrote editorials with a singular message: Jarrar’s words were horrible, and she should no longer be a professor at the university.

School officials said they were reviewing the tenured professor’s position, and Castro rebuked Jarrar, saying her remarks left him “shocked, upset, appalled just like everybody else.”

On Tuesday, Castro announced what the university would do about Jarrar’s words:

Nothing.

“Professor Jarrar’s conduct was insensitive, inappropriate and an embarrassment to the university,” he wrote in a five-paragraph statement. “I know her comments have angered many in our community and impacted our students.”

The university, Castro said, “carefully reviewed the facts and consulted with [lawyers] to determine whether we could take disciplinary action. … We have concluded that Professor Jarrar did not violate any CSU or university policies and that she was acting in a private capacity and speaking about a public matter on her personal Twitter account. Her comments, although disgraceful, are protected free speech under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.”

It was an unsatisfying conclusion for those who argued that tenure should not absolve Jarrar — or anyone — from the consequences of their vitriolic words.

But Castro said tenure wasn’t the issue, writing in his statement that “this private action is an issue of free speech and not related to her job or tenure.”

Jarrar will be free to teach at Fresno State after a scheduled leave for the spring semester, Castro said.

I'd just find a way to shuffle her off to teach a group of teenage misfits in the library on Saturdays.

She could be the detention professor teaching kids valuable life lessons about flare guns.

Or assign her to teach the schools brand new janitorial engineering degree.

Good. What a #### show that would have been.

Ah...another victory for tenure!
