TO THE PRESIDENT OF CLEMSON UNIVERSITY, Dr. James P. Clements:
My name is Ben Oates. I earned a Master of Science degree and was employed for 35 years at Clemson University. IF this professor(s) have been disrespectful or celebrating the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, action needs to be taken.
I RESPECTFULLY PETITION FOR THE IMMEDIATE TERMINATION OF ANYONE REPRESENTING CLEMSON UNIVERSITY WHO POSTED ANY DISRESPECTFUL OR CELEBRATORY MESSAGE CONCERNING THE POLITICAL ASSASSINATION OF CHARLIE KIRK. Please join me in flooding his inbox and phone with support for this action. If we join together, we can make it happen.
Contact information: email: president@clemson.edu phone: (864) 656.3413

Ben, with all due respect, calls to “flood inboxes” and demand people lose their jobs over rumors and social media outrage don’t reflect Clemson values. We are better than mob justice.
If a faculty member actually violated university policy, there are already clear processes for accountability. But jumping straight to “immediate termination” based on what you think may have been posted is reckless. Professors are not disposable just because you dislike their politics or hear something secondhand.
Clemson thrives because of debate, diversity of thought, and a commitment to truth. Let’s not cheapen that legacy by trying to intimidate people into silence.

spineless teachers like you caused the problem we have today. I mean this whole heartily. I fought against your weeny types everyday in school. I tried to teach real values and facts. I wasn't trying to make them happy, just learn.

If he was half as smart as he claims, he would have sat this one out. I’m becoming more mags every day since the shooting, and after reading some of the vile comments from people like this. You can see the celebration in his posts.

Would you say the same thing if Obama was assassinated while speaking at an event, and a professor celebrated it? I doubt it. There has to be consequences for your actions when you are in the position of “teaching” young people.

Professors are replacable despite what people would like to think. Tenure is the worst concept of all time. You cant even begin to tell me you want Dabo fired if you believe in Tenure, keep that in mind. Actions and results should matter and your job as a teacher of young minds is not to force your views on the student body but to teach them how to think for themselves critically.

Id also like to point out the pure irony of your last sentence, if true the professor is celebrating exactly what you are saying you are against.
Charlie Kirk was silenced for his beliefs and opinions, you either whole heartdly believe what you are saying are you only apply that logic to those that think and speak like you.

There is no debate with the communist terrorist left, 80% of the nation now agrees with this sentiment because their "ideas" & "influence" resulted in the grissly murder of a CHRISTIAN husband and father of two young children(one which who was standing near him as his neck exploded); and now these non-Americans get to lose their jobs, careers, and livelihoods(and ALOT will go to prison, thankfully). Kinda like what these leftist nutters have been doing to NORMAL AMERICANS who have not gone along with their communist lunacy for the past 50-75 years....
ENJOY 👍

This might come as a surprise to you but a post on social media is not a rumor. Calls to be a luigi Mangione don't reflect Clemson values. Saying it's a great beautiful day in reference to Charlie Kirk being killed don't either nor calling him a fascist. I hope this information helsp.
Melvin Earl Phd Music needs to be fired now.

People that work in public education are expected to not express their personal beliefs on their personal social media accounts. Public K-12 school teachers have been getting fired for years for such posts. Why do professors feel that they should be treated differently? Teachers and professors have one job and that is to teach the curriculum. When the instructor in a public school setting makes their personal beliefs known, some students are going to feel uncomfortable in their classroom.
I want the professors fired because it is the correct thing to . How are students that are mourning the death of Charlie Kirk supposed to attend class with a professor that is celebrating his death? An instructor in a public school setting has to have an inviting for ALL. Personal feelings and beliefs need to be left at the door. If done correctly, the instructor will have a classroom full of students that will have no idea where their instructor lands politically and religiously.

As much as it hurts to see this hate, I defended freedom in the USMC for 20 years of my life. Charlie always encouraged people to discuss freely how we felt.
Yes, I feel bad that Clemson University is being associated with someone applauding Charlie’s death. Free speech is not free. In this case, it cost a man his life and a wife and children not having him to help them thrive.
I continue to pray we can figure out a way to get back to discussing our differences without feeling hate toward the other side. We are a great Country! Let’s not let this further divide us.

An example should definitely be made of the staff employee, some person with the asbestos program, if what was posted is not fake news. Calling for people to be like two murders crosses any line that the administration would need to draw. Free speech does allow you to go on social media call for people to murder in cold blood people that they don’t disagree with. It also creates a security problem for the university because on Monday someone may be looking for this dude to have word with him directly. The University does not need that kind of problem because some idiot keyboard warrior said something stupid and dangerous on social media. Firing this guy in a public manner should be quite an easy decision for the University once the details of the post are validated.
