Is 'Free Speach' only for some?

The offensive posts go as far back as January 2015, when Karega posted an image of an ISIS terrorist pulling off and Mask with the face of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with the caption, “FRANCE WANTS TO FREE PALESTINE? TIME FOR A FALSE FLAG¦

The non-tenured professor also claimed in another post that the Islamic State is not Islamic, but rather “a CIA and Mossad operation, writing "there’s too much information out here for the general public not to know this.

“Oberlin College respects the rights of its faculty, students, staff, and alumni to express their personal views, reads the statement. “Acknowledgement of this right does not signal institutional support for, or endorsement of, any specific position.-----------

In my opinion, the schools response is the correct response. At the same time, I can imagine the riots were this a white male professor spouting off against African americans, women or the gay community

Any teacher, at any level, who takes their personal politics into the classroom is a fool and not worthy of the profession. Even if this professor only posted on his free time and at home, educators enjoy a special place in societies.

It's not a law, but it is an unwritten code, that teachers should refrain from making extremist views public. The very fact that they are educators tends to give credence and lend a certain weight to their opinions. It's a spillover of the teacher mystique learned in childhood.

It may only be a perceived problem, but as my old commanding officer once told me, "A perceived problem is a real problem."

Or if he must post his views then post them under a nom de plume?
