I can't imagine another human being celebrating the coward act of assassinating another human from far away in an attempt not to be known who he was. You can't be any more of a coward than that!!!

I don't care who you are, affiliation with, Creed, favorite team, or favorite color. The man was killed in front of his family. Society should have more temperance or down right decency not to say things I've read. I really had no idea who he was, but that was wrong.

He was amazing. He went to college campuses across the US, especially those who hate him. He engaged in civil discourse, loving his enemies and establishing what they had in common before talking out their differences. Multiple countries have packed areas to have vigils fir him. He left behind a wife, a 1 1/2 year old and a three year old. za

I would suspect they are determining if the social media posts are protected under the 1st Amendment or not. I don’t blame them for taking some time to work through it. I want my Bill of Rights respected regardless of how I feel about what someone said. Firing someone in a few days accomplishes the same as behaving like torch carrying mob hours after something is posted. From what I’ve seen of the social media posts it’s offensive to me, but not it rises to the level of inciting harm. Perhaps falls closer to undermining the dignity of another person.

Hopefully, I am saying the University waited until backlash from professors, and 2 days after to even acknowledge. The president as always is silent and continues to do nothing until criticized or funding is pulled. As a graduate I take pride in being a representative of Clemson. May not agree with people and I am not nearly perfect in any shape or form but being a good human and having core values goes a long way. Feels like we can have a better representation of Our University.

It’s not about image. Clemson employs psychopaths who spend their days attempting to spread the psychosis. And from what I can see, they’ve been doing a great job. You don’t care?
I went to Furman & I washed my hands of them a while back. I’m embarrassed by them, but the main thing is that I will nit support their efforts to turn smart kids into moronic commies.

Um...that's not really true. At its inception it restrained the states through the supremacy clause, though that didn't actually enforce constitutional protections being provided by state governments. THAT part changed after the 14th amendment was added and the due process clause led to incorporation doctrine. Slowly the supreme court has "incorporated" rights, which means states are entirely bound by those rights. As of like 80 years ago the entirety of the first amendment is incorporated, meaning state governments have to abide by freedom of speech, assembly, religion, press, etc...

1A protects against the federal government from punishing speech. Your employer is a different matter entirely.
Not uncommon these days to sign an agreement when being hired that any social media posts on personal accounts that reflect poorly on your employer will result in your termination

If you want your Bill of Rights respected then I suggest that you buy a firearm if you haven't already. The next step is being willing to die over the bill of rights. I for one am proud of you if you follow these instructions.

When did they ban guns and ammo in America?
My Glock 19 sits right beside me while I sleep. I’ve taken it apart, polished the insides, and that trigger is smoother than a baby’s ####. I love looking at the #### thing.

I’m terrified. IED’s, RPG’s, and AK47’s did nothing to prepare me for your Glock 19.
Posturing isn’t intimidating, it’s humorous.
Banning guns and ammo wasn’t my point.

I've always felt that it was better to have a weapon and not need it, that to need it and not have it. Me and my wife both have Smith & Wesson Shield 40 cal, and we both pray that we never have a need for them. I would rather never have to take something that I can't give back bc life is precious to us all!!!

If you are employed by a school and choose to respond to a school shooting with anything less than unqualified condemnation, you have endorsed campus violence and stochastic terrorism. It is completely unacceptable. If anyone he has ever interacted with as Clemson faculty were to commit an act of violence Clemson would be liable.

Nevermind, I missed the professor running his mouth. I thought the statement was in regards to just political violence in general not some tweet by a professor.
Maybe they haven't fired him because they're worried that they won't be able to find another phony, bigoted professor to teach his made up class? Or maybe he makes bad coffee and so they are worried that he'd be unemployed and even Starbucks wouldn't hire him?

Good luck with that. I doubt you’ll find a significant amount of people that would miss a Clemson football game that they bought tickets for.
Additionally, I don’t think it would make a difference to Clemson since the tickets would be paid for.

Most people won’t because tickets are paid for… but an half empty stadium and a loss in hundreds of thousands of dollars in concession, alcohol, and retail sales on a single home football game would get their attention quick.

The professor has 1st Amendment rights for sure, but Clemson also has the right to fire anyone who works for them and represents their name. Especially if the speech in question celebrates or mocks the murder of another human being who was killed simply for exercising his own 1st Amendment rights.
Clemson better do the right thing here and fire this despicable person, this situation is completely unacceptable.

the Kirk fans, and he has a lot, dont want anybody saying anything negative or even objective about the guy. They just want to hear his praises. Good manners dictate that we wait until after burial for the critical remarks, but he was a public figure who constantly preached guns. so it is a reasonable approach to say karma got him, if you believe in karma.

The reality is most college campuses, including Clemson unfortunately, are cesspools of left wing weirdos who will cheer the deaths of anyone they disagree with. Yet when they aren't making these ridiculous posts online we are supposed to believe they are being fair minded with their students? Oh please. Its well documented college students these days already feel intimidated into saying whatever they think their professors want them to say in order to get good grades. Now add in creepy pro assassination professors to the mix and what exactly do you expect your kids to learn from them?

Believe me when I tell you, it’s a systematic problem at Clemson.
My daughter sent me a video her Sophomore year at Clemson of one of her professors , who of course, is from California. A Professor Durham who is an absolute nut job and in no way should be at Clemson teaching young people. The woman is crazy and this was before she found out Trump was going to be President.
The administration puts out a message when another Democrat goes off the rails yet continues to employ these whackos. I sent numerous emails to the administration that I was not paying to have my child indoctrinated while in college. There were several of her friends from up north that were shocked at what this woman was saying in the classroom, their parents had sent them down here to get away from that crap.
In my email I told them I didn’t expect a conservative or a liberal to be spending 10 minutes during their class trying to sway students, just teach my child what she needs for her major and that’s all.
President Clements is essentially a man who has had his balls stripped from him in the sake of social justice in my opinion after dealing with him and several others at Clemson

This is BS. Other state supported universities have handled matters. Why is McMaster not applying pressure to have these professors fired? You cannot work in public education and do something public ally like this on your personal page. How are students that support Charlie Kirk supposed to feel sitting in classes with these professors?

Normally that would be a good point and I am generally not a fan of people getting fired for what they do in their own personal time. However a lot of people got fired for that they posted during Covid and the BLM riots a few years ago and I don't believe anybody even pretended to give a #### about whether they made those posts at work or not so this seem to be a consistent application of that standard, whether you agree with it or not.

were right-wing, you wouldn’t have a problem with it.
Anyone publicly celebrating or justifying a murder on social media should be subject to repercussions, to include firing, by whatever private or public institution they work for. No matter their political leanings. They have the right to express themselves without being persecuted by the government, but Clemson and other public institutions can choose not to employ such persons for whatever reason.

I pointed out—correctly—that no one incites more political violence than Donald Trump. From his rallies (“knock the crap out of" a protester, “I’ll pay your legal fees”) to Jan. 6 (“be there, will be wild”) to debates (“Proud Boys, stand back and stand by”) to that incendiary message Wednesday night, he does it all the time. And don’t start with the “He didn’t mean it like THAT” nonsense; only an idiot would believe that.

I saw a clip where he said that Kirk promoted non-violence and the we should all react the same way now.
How is that incendiary?? Do you have a link to something that he said this week that was incendiary?

Did you even listen to the clip you posted? Go to the 27 second mark. You just proved my point. Thank you for doing the research, even if you didn’t hear what was said. Best possible thing a person could have said in that situation. Trump says a lot of ridiculous stuff, but in this case what he said was perfect.

Trump did not endorse violence-he tweeted for people to NOT be violent but they TOOK DOWN his post-Pelosi and her left wing pals refused to provide more security and rogue FBI agents were present---It was the Democrats who supported their ANTIFA pals and BLM buds as they attacked, rioted and burned buildings for MONTHS

Atlanta Constitution, NY Times, The State, Boston Globe, any reputable newsgathering organization.

You're right of course. College should be all about the 1st Amendment. Flag burnings. One group denouncing Israel while another group denounces Palestine. Holocaust deniers. Anti-vaxxers. People of science. Etc. It's about taking diverse people and teaching them how to hold conversations with people that have different views. But as we can see with the brigading in here, we're supposed to have homogeneous set of opinions.
When I went to Clemson, they'd bring in speakers from all spectrums. I hated some of them, but I still went and listened. I don't base my hate on sound bites or what some individual says my opinion is supposed to be. I base my hate on what I hear a person say. Yes, I hate people. I hate people who want to wipe negativity of slavery away from school history books. But they have the right to say that. I don't mind, and even am glad when some people die. I cheered when I heard Obama took out Bin Laden.
Today, I am a registered unaffiliated voter. I don't vote based on what a group tells me to. I vote based on who I feel has integrity and doesn't want to infringe on our rights, or set aside parts of our Constitution that soldiers died defending. Clemson helped me foster an ability to think for myself. I appreciate that, and would hope they continue defending the right to free speech for every single student. No neo-McCarthyism. No selecting which side of a debate people on campus are supposed to take. Develop women and men that can think for themselves, who defy hypocrisy, and are open to the idea that things they believe in, may in fact be wrong. When they vote for someone who shows they are not the man they thought, to then vote against them. If Clemson alumni are excuse makers for politicians, put their blinders on when their tenets are disproven, and suppress the right of others to have different views, then Clemson has failed.

Feels a lot like 501c churches, which is why I stopped attending them. Wake up America, you're only supposed to have what you earned through investments and hard work. Anything aside of that is gutter filth.

Youre kidding right? If a professor did that they would have been immediately fired, their house would have been burned down and they would have never been able to get a job anywhere ever again. And thats assuming they and their families werent murdered by the mob that burned down their house. You think leftists only hate Charlie Kirk? No. They hate anyone that dares cross them in public.

Unfortunately, in the US people don’t understand that freedom is a double edged sword.
We live in the greatest country in the world. We have the freedom to do or say whatever we want. The side that people forget about is that unfortunately, there are often consequences that follow what we do and say.
That is NOT being taught to our children!!
If you do or say stupid things, you better be tough and willing to take what you get!

If you are employed by a school and choose to respond to a school shooting with anything less than unqualified condemnation, you have endorsed campus violence and stochastic terrorism. It is completely unacceptable. If anyone he has ever interacted with as Clemson faculty were to commit an act of violence Clemson would be liable.
If you’ve attended a school orientation in the last decade, they will all tell you student safety is their absolute highest priority. You cannot uphold that principle if you employ people indifferent to the potential death of a large portion of the student body.

Clemson is getting eviscerated on social media right now, and especially on X. They are getting a ton of attention, and it’s not good. This might be a turning point for Clemson. If President Clements doesn’t do the right thing immediately and announce it far and wide, I’m concerned that there may be irreparable harm done to Clemson’s reputation across the country.

People like these (professors?) have no business being involved with educating the youth of America.
Every one of them should be summarily dismissed..
Immediately!

He should be fired immediately. I can not support any school that allows this behavior to exist on their campus.

This school has absolutely gone to crap!! 25 years ago, this school was reflective of the surrounding area, which means mostly local students and conservative values…. Not to blame students from out of state, but the faculty has deteriorated causing this school to become more and more liberal leading to THIS EMBARRASSMENT! The president or board can’t even fire a few fruit loops that have no business teaching ANYTHING! This goes way beyond football, and I’d rather support a school with an average athletic program than one with WOKE/WEAK/LIBERAL LEADERSHIP!! It will be difficult to support this school in this light…. Wrong state for this CU!!!! Wrong state!!!

Yep. This heartbreaking, watching in real time as my beloved Clemson University’s national reputation is circling the drain. All because of the inaction of Jim Clements and the board.

Disgusting. Maybe if Dabo calls it out they will act. Action should have been taken immediately to cut these disgraceful “educators”/indoctrinators loose. Clements and BOT are spineless and are dragging the name of Clemson thru the mud nationwide.

Word. Hard to believe there's legislators that openly defy the Constitution, cherry-picking amendments to disregard.

They should condemn politicians that do NOT denounce all violence. There's a whole lot of elected politicians and pundits who fall in that category. How can we be surprised when people commit acts of violence? The insane are running the asylum.

Good, it's about time they make a statement about mass school shootings. Oh wait, they said "political" violence. Sigh. Well, maybe one day they'll care about all the innocent children, who are not out spewing hate, and are being slaughtered in what should be a safe space.

This is bull shiite and Jim Clements is a complete disappointment! If this is the kind of Leader he is than the Board likely needs to remove him from his position.
Two young kids have no Dad now!! And Jim Clememts thinks its a free speech issue to allow those working under him to celebrate that fact?!
When did Clemson University lose all Christian common decency, and instead replaced it with its support for the evil machinizations of Satan!

FOIA Clemson employment contracts

If not already in there , need to add a termination clause. You cannot work in public education and post on personal online accounts anything that will make your students feel uncomfortable in your classroom. This is standard for K-12 public school teachers in the south. Educators that want to push any personal agenda need to work in private education.
