Quote:Dan Johnson is an associate professor at the School of Health and Applied Human Sciences at University of North Carolina Wilmington with apparently equal interest in politics and polytechnics. He posted a short but clear message on Facebook: “Blow Up Republicans.” The detonation of people seems to be in vogue with professors this year. As will come as little surprise to many on this blog, I do not believe Johnson should face discipline for his violent political ideations.


Campus Reform reports objections to the handling of the controversy by the school, which only stated that “[t]he university was made aware of the post and has appropriately addressed it.” Johnson took down the posting.

Haylie Davis, a former student of Johnson’s, is quoted as objecting to the lack of more serious action and notes that the school would not be so circumspect “if the word ‘Republican’ was replaced with any other word. If the post stated ‘Blow up women,’ ‘Blow up homosexuals,’ ‘Blow up Catholics,’ etc.”

That is a good point. We have discussed the sharply different treatment given statements by faculty depending on their political or social perspectives.

I have defended faculty who have made similarly disturbing comments denouncing police, calling for Republicans to suffer, strangling police officers, celebrating the death of conservatives, calling for the killing of Trump supporters, supporting the murder of conservative protesters and other outrageous statements. These comments were not protested as creating an “unsafe environment” and were largely ignored by universities. However, professors and students are routinely investigated, suspended, and sanctioned for countervailing views. There were also controversies at the University of California and Boston University, where there have been criticism of such a double standard, even in the face of criminal conduct. There was also such an incident at the University of London involving Bahar Mustafa as well as one involving a University of Pennsylvania professor. Some intolerant statements against students are deemed free speech while others are deemed hate speech or the basis for university action. There is a lack of consistency or uniformity in these actions which turn on the specific groups left aggrieved by out-of-school comments. There is also a tolerance of faculty and students tearing down fliers and stopping the speech of conservatives. Indeed, even faculty who assaulted pro-life advocates was supported by faculty and lionized for her activism.

As we have previously discussed (with an Oregon professor and a Rutgers professor), there remains an uncertain line in what language is protected for teachers in their private lives. A conservative North Carolina professor faced calls for termination over controversial tweets and was pushed to retire. Dr. Mike Adams, a professor of sociology and criminology, had long been a lightning rod of controversy. In 2014, we discussed his prevailing in a lawsuit that alleged discrimination due to his conservative views. He was then targeted again after an inflammatory tweet calling North Carolina a “slave state.” That led to his being pressured to resign with a settlement. He then committed suicide

The efforts to fire professors who voice dissenting views on various issues including an effort to oust a leading economist from the University of Chicago as well as a leading linguistics professor at Harvard and a literature professor at Penn. Sites like Lawyers, Guns, and Money feature writers like Colorado Law Professor Paul Campus who call for the firing of those with opposing views (including myself). Such campaigns have targeted teachers and students who contest the evidence of systemic racism in the use of lethal force by police or offer other opposing views in current debates over the pandemic, reparations, electoral fraud, or other issues.

It is not just universities. Almost on the one-year anniversary of its condemning its own publication of a column by Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark. (and forcing out its own editor), the New York Times published an academic columnist who previously defended the killing of conservative protesters. Over at the Washington Post this week, the newspaper promoted a columnist, Karen Attiah, who last summer caused an outrage after she tweeted “White women are lucky that we are just calling them Karens. And not calling for revenge.”

Despite the bias and hypocrisy shown by universities, I still would defend Johnson and his right to express such views on social media. Unfortunately, such hyperbolic and violent language is common today. While academics should be examples of greater tolerance and civility, the danger of such regulation is greater than the cost of such speech. Indeed, this week, the free speech community secured a significant victory in the ruling in Mahonoy on out-of-school speech by a high school student.

The failure of many on the left to support diversity of viewpoints does not mean that the rest of us are relieved of our own obligation to support free speech. While many of us are repulsed by Professor Johnson’s dreams of blowing up Republicans, sanctions on such speech could easily become a nightmare for free speech.

All the real "white terrorists" seem to be on the far left. Funny how Pelosi and Garland don't seem interested in prosecuting them though.

Ahhhh... more open minded, enlightened inclusion from the left.

The party of superior intellect for sure.

My daughter will be attending UNCW in the fall. I will give her a heads up about this hateful, obnoxious shirt wearing lib. Institutions of higher learning used to champion open exchange of ideas and differences of opinion. Unreal how much this has flip-flopped in recent years. See UC-Berkeley.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...you are either ignorant as hell or a cocky sum biitch if you post inflammatory crap on social media and you work for a public institution. You are fair game with your public contact information. Academicians [some] operate in a very narrow reality. Often, it is their own reality of which they are their own demi-god.

No idea why this is surprising. This is always the end result of a propaganda machine designed to dehumanize and demonize a segment of society. The hate speech CNN spews is ultimately dangerous. The hate speech NYT spews will ultimately have a horrifying negative outcome. The hate speech spewed by democrat politicians is incredibly dangerous and has ALREADY cost lives---and I suspect it will cost the lives of many more individuals before this ugly period of left wing totalitarian hate mongering is over. As Ive said many times---Democrats do not care about people. They care only about power and will do anything to get it.

They are an insecure bunch that don't seem to be comfortable in their own skin. So they lash out loudly and beat their chests that they are right and everyone else is wrong no matter what the contradiction in fact or opinion is. It has become an echo chamber of social justice dogma wherein the individual, free thinker has died.

The same ones Trump broke, Squid. None, but this dipSchiff is one of the ones teaching at this university and good people are paying good money to hear this S in classes.

Like that little rat faced wussie fag is going to kill anyone. Cheap talk by a cheap shirt. Please.

Thats what hate speech is all about--inciting hate and hoping it progresses to violence. This guy literally says the words.

When you can’t win in the debate of ideas you drown out the oppositions ideas. Simple Alinsky BS.

I'm used to professors in Wilmington going viral and gaining notoriety

Nothing will come of this would be my wager

If Mike Adam's had called for violence and said or Tweeted Blow Up Democrats he would have given then the ammo they so desperately wanted to dismiss him with cause and overrule his tenure.

Since this guy is a liberal though the automatic double standard applies. In addition to UNCW's loss to Adam's in federal court, the University isn’t going to do anything to a guy, unsure of his tenure status, that doesn't have a long Adam's like history of outspokenness.

He may get a please don't do it again but that's it
