Since when am I defending her? How, exactly, is saying that there is more to the story than either side has said a defense of one side or the other? It’s quite possible that she has done something that they can’t pin on her enough to fire her for so they’re grasping at whatever they can. Thus, the bit about not being…

Weird how your classifications account for every year other than 23.

Yep, that’s exactly my reading of the situation. It’s personal, but we don’t know yet if it’s justified as well.

Plenty of people do things that would justify termination and DON’T get terminated due to personal relationships, as well.

No one cares about your boner.

Dudes make mild off colour joke about dongles and the Internet Shame Squad cane down on him like a pile of bricks.

They decided they wanted a white man to help a black woman over the wall to take down the flag as a symbol of race relations and fighting against oppression and how allies should behave, assisting but not silencing black voices.

Eh, there is still more going on here, I guarantee. Somebody has a bug up their butt over this woman (and who can tell at this point whether it’s with or without a reason?) and it has little or nothing to do with any of the stated reasons for her firing.

Higher education is a shitshow. No one can decide what they want college to be: We fixate on how information is delivered or encoded, instead of its accuracy or vitality to a curriculum. The same people who argue for academic freedom balk at its application. Administrators are heavy-handed and reactionary politicians,…

Isn’t it about time you gave peas a chance, Mister President?

To be fair, look at the racial make up companies have to choose from at graduation from engineering schools. It’s not like there is a very diverse crowd studying math and science. In fact, those same people are labeled geeks and picked on in public school. Educators can talk STEM all they want to, but let’s see some…

“I’ll take that in cash.”

White gorillas, always trying to make it about them

But then, even non-religious ideologies can flout standards of moral behavior. Homosexuality wasn’t exactly warmly embraced in Stalinist Russia or the PRC either.

because they never tested it on black faces because....tech....

That seemed like a legitimate and reasonable response to a terrible mistake.

“What about me?”

I would say the fact that they have been performing same sex unions in states where gay marriage was illegal (due to a popular vote) would be an example that this particular branch actually did not wait for the ordinary standards of moral behavior to catch up. They’ve been doing same sex unions since back when states…

Fact: we are the most chill. I’m probably the LEAST chill of all the Episcopalians I know.

Um, EXCUSE ME??

Well, it's not as if other religions have been swift with implementing pro-LGBT policies either. Even the Dalai Lama has chosen his words carefully on the subject.
