Thank goodness this repugnant vermin is not teaching anymore!
The University of Tampa has fired a visiting assistant professor who suggested in a tweet that Hurricane Harvey’s destruction is “instant karma” for Texas because it v**ed Republican.
Sociology professor Kenneth L. Storey posted the tweet and two responses on Sunday before removing the entire thread and his profile photo.
University spokesman Eric Cardenas said in a statement Tuesday that Storey was fired after the school weathered an outpouring of online outrage over the comments.
The Tampa Bay Times reports Storey issued an apology on Monday, writing that he “never meant to wish ill will upon any group.”
In a Facebook post on Monday evening, the university said it “stands in solidarity with the people impacted by Hurricane Harvey.”
Officials said another sociology professor will take over Storey’s classes.

Let's hope he stays as such, but you can bet the farm that a far-left College (plenty of them) will pick him up. you can also bet that he will get a raise and salutations.Wanna bet??

I would have thought that a college prof would realize the responsibility of indoctrinating our next generations' minds. To poison them with this kind of h**e is unconscionable. This man is supposed to be la creme de la creme of the erudite. Instead, he is a large dose of spoilt buttermilk!
