ANALYSIS/OPINION:
A professor at Texas Tech University suggested in an email to Physics Department colleagues that he considering renouncing his atheism if get this President Donald Trump were to die from the coronavirus.
So a horrible untimely death of the president would bring this man to faith? Thats despicable.
Thats also a solid reason to take the estimated $27,000 in-state or $39,000 out-of-state costs per year to attend this school and spend the money elsewhere.
Who needs to be taught by idiots like this?
I am personally an atheist, wrote Richard Wigmans, the J.F. Bucy chair professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at TTU, in an emailed memo to his colleagues about the presidents handling of the coronavirus crisis, Campus Reform reported, but if #45 would die as a result of this virus, I might reconsider.
When confronted by Campus Reform about the quip, Wigmans said he hadnt expressed such a wish for Trump to die from the coronavirus.
He said hes being misinterpreted.
Wigmans said his statement is being blown out of proportion and taken out of context and wrongly interpreted as a death wish to the president and that this [was] a statement about myself, not about someone else.
Spoken like a true liberal: When caught red-handed, spin, spin, spin. Feign innocence, and the innocence will come.
But one has to wonder: What if Trump had said the same about, say, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi? Or a member of the media? Thered be mass hyperventilating, widespread hysteria.
The takeaway is this: The mass closing of schools and colleges due to the coronavirus may actually be a blessing in disguise. Itll keep the kids away from the overeducated fools of so-called places of higher learning, if only for a few months longer.
