Meanwhile, my previous professor received death threats that they "need to be lynched" for refusing to mourn him. They were also fired for stating they won't mourn him.
edit for clarity
They were fired for being told that they needed to be lynched?
Just to be clear, I'm reading it as "the Prof got fired for saying they wouldn't mourn Kirk, and someone else said the Prof should be lynched too"
Not sure why the dv. The comment confuses me too.
I read it as obviously the prof was both fired and threatened with lynching, (by a different person) for the same comment that they won't mourn Charlie Kirk. But I could be wrong.
The only way it makes sense is 2 professors.
Their professor got told by another professor who got fired.
Props for the university to take a stance against facism?
