Fired for telling a harmless joke in class? You gotta be kidding…
Actually, he was fired for not responding to a harassment complaint, the contents of which his employer refused to divulge. In other words, he had no clue what the complaint was about and therefore no way to defend himself.
Proof that a “Social Justice” school like Roosevelt University takes humor very seriously, here’s the joke he told (which was directly related to that day’s classroom discussion) that got him into trouble:
A group of sociologists did a poll in Arizona regarding the state’s new immigration law. Sixty percent said they were in favor, and 40 percent said, “No hablo Ingles.” *
Naturally a student was horribly offended — I’ll bet she’ll need therapy for years because of it.

I must find this man. He must be the only sociology prof of all time to tell a mild racial joke. He’s a one-of-a-kind!
Actually I’m shocked! University instructors (teachers in general) have Kevlar contracts. How did the Uni fire him without having to go through the whole investigation and mediation process?!
Contrast that with last weeks local revelation of the elementary school teacher (M) who was ‘encouraged’ to find another teaching situation after multiple complaints of a sexual interference nature…the school Administration failed to notify the authorities because, and I’m paraphrasing here, ‘he was no longer a danger because he’d left the property.’
BP high and rising…
