Melissa Click, Missouri professor filmed asking for 'muscle,' is fired

Introverts are drawn to the following professional areas: academia, medicine, law... See a pattern there? Introverts value themselves and their work very highly and simply are never wrong in their own eyes. All those professions are very, very overpaid. See the pattern yet? We see cases where a person is proven innocent by dna but the courts and prosecutors just fight it all off and blow it off. That is because they can never be wrong. We see that those introvert personalities all have set up systems for themselves wherein their jobs, their space, and their stuff are legally protected by walls of intricate regulations. I call it the Introvert Mafia. Every one of them corporate drones that follow the party line to the letter.

I've reorganized my thinking to be along psychology derived personality type lines rather than all the philosophy derived stuff that went before like gender, political, etc.. it makes for a whole new set of coping skills that are way more effective against the gigantic bureaucratic house of cards we are faced with nowadays.

The theory is that speech and ideas are allowed to be expressed and find there own place as credible and sound or the opposite.

The problem with this creature is that she violated the rights of a student journalist, incited semi-violent behavior and acted inappropriately towards law enforcement. That is not protected behavior.

Thx for the explanation, it clarifies alot of this for me.

I guess what frustrates me is that it all seems like a bunch of bureaucrats setting up bureaucracys in order to protect themselves. We as tax payers hold the keys to the kingdom, so why do we allow them to bend us over like this? Why do we accept the complete lack of accountability?

The concept of tenure and teaching rights is to protect professors from being fired due to politics. If a professor teaches a concept that is controversial should they be fired due to political protests?

The same applies to K-12 Teachers. Our state legislature is trying to do away with tenure (aka "career status") for public school teachers in our state. Tenure was put in place originally to protect teachers from being fired due to politics. In our state before tenure when a county school board changed from a Republican to Democratic majority all the teachers in the district were fired who were Republicans and replaced with Democrats.

In recent years, schools systems have attempted to fire teachers for teaching evolution and Islam religion in North Carolina after parents protested. Please note that teaching evolution and comparative religions are part of the state school curriculum and are mandatory material. The teachers in these cases (in rural counties) strictly followed the state teaching material -- yet still their districts attempted to fire them to appease conservative parents. The only thing that saved them was tenure.

Note that tenure does not in any way protect K-12 teachers from being fired for misbehavior or criminal activity (even outside of work) in our state.

The same applies for college professors -- who have endured similar situations. This is why tenure is appropriate and in place for decades.
 
Thanks for explaining the theory of tenure, gwb. In practice it differs somewhat. Far left radicals, wacko activists, black criminals, ex- domestic terrorists, eg Bill Ayers and his wife and their cohorts, get the full protection of tenure.

Anyone who deviates from the official PC line however can expect career ruin. You can ask Larry Summers about it if you doubt me. Any professor who expresses the slightest doubt about gay rights, affirmative action, AGW or a host of other issues can expect career ruin.

And what about the head of the University of Missouri? Wasn't he entitled to some sort of due process before being lynched by a mob of black thugs and university radicals?
 
Just in case anyone is curious as to why generation lost is so completely lost, let us not look any further than their education. We have this ditz and the likes of Melissa Harris Perry doing the teaching.
