Jumped-up Pennsylvania teachers' college suspends professor over Facebook
We read:
"East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania (ESU) has finally reinstated professor Gloria Gadsden this week after suspending her for more than a month, pending a psychological examination, because of comments about her students on Facebook.
Taking actions that would have been worthless if Gadsden had truly presented a threat as the university asserted, ESU put her on paid administrative leave because she had posted obvious jokes including that she ‘didn’t want to kill even one student.’
After FIRE intervened and a clinician found her fit for work, Gadsden returned to the classroom last week.”

Another victim of political correctness, or perhaps, did her last name upset and frighten the schools leftists? Hmmm...
LOL, good point!
(Gadsden, as in "Don't Tread On Me".)
It's America - what do you expect!
Turn this around for a moment and assume that the teacher actually did do something to her students.
The school would be sued out the wazzou and people would scream that they should have protected their kids from this lunatic.
Is the reaction of the school over the top? Yeah, probably. But given the litigious nature of today's society and the real threats from weirdos out there, the school tried to protect itself and the kids.
It is overboard, but understandable.
