“Blow Up Republicans”: UNC Professor Triggers Firestorm With Call For Killing Republicans

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.
