Professor sues Purdue University and stands by his right to free speech


Excellent!!  If only there were more professors like the good Maurice Eisenstein of Indiana, we would not be classified as nations of  ball-less people in the history pages of the future. I have always maintained that one has to fight fire with fire. If lawfare is one of the weapons that the enemy uses against us, why are we not training ourselves in the art of lawfare ourselves?  Not doing so is making us sitting ducks.  There's no logic or good in  saying "I don't want to behave like them."   Bullshit .... saying that is trying to hide your cowardice. 

Pic below shows bellowing whiners protesting the Prof's comments. Losers. Instead of having a healthy debate with the professor these muslim students want to throw a burkha on the ugly truth about their cult that our idiotic politicians have the gall to label as "religion". 

A Purdue University professor has filed a freedom of speech suit against his school and five co-workers after getting in hot water for inflammatory statements about Muslims on his Facebook page.

Tenured political science professor Maurice Eisenstein was cleared by a university investigation into his Facebook comments, which included a reference to "the idiot Mohammad [sic}, may his name be cursed." But Eisenstein claims the investigation nonetheless damaged his reputation and disputes a finding that he retaliated against other faculty members.

“I was trying to be challenging as a professor, and do what I was trained to do,” Eistenstein, who joined the school's faculty in 1993, told FoxNews.com.

The flap unfolded late last year, when Eisenstein posted a photo of the aftermath of a massacre of Nigerian Christians, purportedly carried out by African Muslims, on his Facebook page.

"Where are the ‘moderate' Muslims' reaction to this? Oh, I forgot they are still looking at the earth as flat ...,” Eisenstein wrote above the post.

Other members of the faculty, as well as members of the Muslim Student Association, learned of the comments and went to school officials. Eisenstein maintained that the post was on his personal page and in no way reflected on the school. History professor Miriam Joyce, who later filed a harassment complaint against Eisenstein, told FoxNews.com the comments could alienate students.

“We have Saudi students," Joyce said. "We have other Muslim students. This is wrong. It creates an unpleasant and unwelcoming atmosphere. “I’m concerned that Muslim students and their parents will get the wrong idea about my school.”...........
