Professor says "F*%$ you, Republicans"

[acadecalli.livejournal.com]

As an officer at my university's College Republicans chapter, this type of story almost makes me nauseous. A professor at the University of Iowa responded to a mass email sent out by the CRs with an email that simply said "F*%$ you, Republicans." This is someone who is paid by the tax payers of Iowa and probably has had conservative students at one time or another.

Here is the full story:

I find her "apologies" even MORE insulting than her initial statement. Thoughts?

"appropriating the language of the LGBT community"? WHO IS THIS MORON AND HOW DOES SHE OWN WORDS?

don't start me on this... apparently you cannot use terms and cultural references that came from underprivileged minorities... like when they ganged up on Palin for using "blood libel", cause only jews can use it! Same goes for using "war paint" in advertisements and references by anyone but native americans... etc. It has the same roots as "only white people can be racist".

As a Jew I think Palin actually used the expression "blood libel" perfectly appositely.

Guess she also would take exception to Pagans using the term "coming out of the broom closet," too.

Oh, wait a second... :p

NO ONE ELSE IS ALLOWED TO USE THE TERM 'COMING OUT'. EVER.

I really hope the debutantes of the world rise up against this usurpation of their verbage.

How is she a moron for telling the truth?

No-one OWNS the language. No-one OWNS a word. It's totalitarian to think such a thing, and even worse to try to bully people into compliance of such noxious piffle.
