Proof You Don’t Have to be Very Smart to be a College Prof

In this Campus Reform piece, we read about an adjunct prof at Southern State Community College in Ohio. He recently earned his 15 minutes of fame via a Facebook post in which he advocates shooting up National Rifle Association headquarters. He wants to make sure there are no survivors.

For one thing, even if you are silly enough to think that the NRA is to blame for America’s gun violence, calling for more armed violence to kill everyone at NRA HQ is awfully dumb. For another, this guy now has to contend with a load of equally silly investigations to find out if he is a real threat.

I’m not so much bothered by his childish post (ten year old boys talk like that), but the fact that the state of Ohio lets him teach impressionable students.
