Idiot Prof Flings Boilerplate Insult At Barbara Bush; University President Loses His Mind

Professor what's-her-name is an idiot.
Flinging groundless accusations of racism is SOP on the PC left, obvs. It's gross, but you can't really take it seriously anymore. It's like fundies saying that you're a sinner. It's almost contentless at this point. It really just means REEEEEEEEEEEE
The worrisome part is the University president's response:
On Wednesday, Castro told the Bee that Jarrar’s comments were “beyond free speech. This was disrespectful.”
“A professor with tenure does not have blanket protection to say and do what they wish,” he said. “We are all held accountable for our actions.”
It would be funny to see these people reap what they've sown...if what they'd sown weren't academic / cultural / intellectual apocalypse. 
   The template that such things are "beyond free speech"...whatever the hell that means...is dangerous. That seemed to start with the "hate speech is not free speech" nonsense. The largely incoherent formulations garble their point, but the most coherent interpretation is: what you/they said is not Constitutionally protected. Which is false. 
   More to the point: it seems obvious that PWHN's statements are protected by academic freedom. The AAUP, which never lifts a finger against the crazy left, is likely to get involved in this given that the reaction is coming from the right. So PWHN is likely to have backup on this.
