Personally, I have mixed feelings on this matter, but here’s the relevant excerpt from the Chronicle piece:

Yeah. She’s not very good at it.

“That and her non apology”

I stand by my statement.

I agree that media pile ups often go too far, and she shouldn’t be deprived of gainful employment over her mistakes, but that doesn’t necessarily mean her heart was in the right place.

I’m actually amazed at how many people are shrugging off the unprofessionalism this woman has exhibited, both in her actions and her apology in which she still essentially blamed “spirited journalists” for her behavior. She doesn’t deserve to be shamed or harassed, but she also should not be in a position to shape…

I still don’t understand why she didn’t want press coverage of the protests, which would have increased visibility of their cause.

No matter how many times I try to think it through, I just can’t understand her reaction to that photographer. She was sympathetic toward the protesters, right? Isn’t the point of a protest to gain attention? So wouldn’t you welcome a photographer?

I wouldn’t take any class she taught.

She made a mistake (or several!) but she apologised

She also has to live in Spokane so that’s punishment enough.

Hi there fellow Zag.

White person lands on their feet where a minority in the same position would still be borked. (Related Stories: water is wet, sky is blue).

She is trash. If she held conservative opinions people here would be clamoring for her to be beheaded.

As a Gonzaga grad with a degree from the comm. department, this is especially embarrassing and frustrating. The school isn’t known for its diversity, so hiring the “white lady fired for racial politics” unfortunately doesn't surprise me. Hopefully her students still learn about the First Amendment somewhere down the…

Thieves can pay restitution. It can be argued that they steal out of necessity.

Personally, I wouldn’t really empathize with the offending ones, unless the person were also unable to tell right from wrong, as we generally understand it (as in, they are detached from reality, they’re delusional). Not all psychiatric disorders deprive you of your sense of what is right or wrong according to the law…

Yeah, I really think that it goes against common sense that it would be easier to rehabilitate a pedophile than say, a drug dealer or a robber. Not that we should just give up on rehabilitating pedophiles, but to say they reoffend less when their behavior stems from a sexual compulsion?

Yeah, I do wish at least a mention in that other article about WHY that might be. Rarely reported, rarely prosecuted, rarely convicted, rarely appropriately sentenced.

Heinrich had previously pleaded guilty to 25 federal child pornography charges, but denied any involvement in Wetterling’s disappearance.
