Warning! Radical professor

I recently heard that Gonzaga University hired a new professor. I thought that was great until I saw who it was. Her name is Melissa Click, and she was the former assistant director of communications at the University of Missouri.

For those of you who have never heard of her, she was caught on camera during the protests at that school last November screaming at a journalist that he had to leave. He stated that he didn’t have to leave and she then called for some “muscle” to help remove the journalist. She was also caught on tape yelling profanities at the police. Think of the irony of a communications professor trampling on a reporter’s First Amendment rights.

Gonzaga has a right to hire anyone they want to, and I have been a supporter of GU for a long time. I just felt the need to warn the people of this hire because this is where some of you may be sending your kids for their education. Today’s universities have a pattern of hiring radical professors in order to indoctrinate rather than educate young people. This is a major reason for the downfall of our society. Consider yourself warned.
