"I Will Never Be Fired"
A Fresno State professor called former first lady Barbara Bush an “amazing racist” who raised a “war criminal,” and expressed no concern that she could be fired or reprimanded for her outspokenness on social media.
Randa Jarrar, a professor in Fresno State’s Department of English, expressed her displeasure with the Bush family within an hour after the official announcement that Mrs. Bush died Tuesday at the age of 92.
“Barbara Bush was a generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal,” Jarrar wrote on Twitter. “F--- outta here with your nice words.”
Jarrar, who in her Twitter messages describes herself as an Arab-American and a Muslim-American woman, goes on to maintain that she is a tenured professor and makes $100,000 a year.
“I will never be fired,” Jarrar tweeted.
In a separate tweet, she wrote: “If you'd like to know what it's like to be an Arab American Muslim American woman with some clout online expressing an opinion, look at the racists going crazy in my mentions right now.”

This is sad.
And reprehensible,
It just makes one sick to their stomach.
What this professor said, gratuitously demeaning a fine person, is indeed reprehensible.
Linking Michelle Obama to the story is equally reprehensible, for exactly the same reason.
I wouldn't say equally, but I will remove it because I would rather the discussion not be about Michelle.
No value [ph]
"I will never be fired,” Jarrar tweeted.
Don't bet the farm on that lady. You are facing some serious backlash for your ignorance which hopefully means your future involves "Will that be paper or plastic?"
I certainly hope they have pulled her out of her classes.
From her updated Wiki page:
Fresno State president Joseph Castro responded to widespread public outrage, saying "Professor Jarrar’s expressed personal views and commentary are obviously contrary to the core values of our University, which include respect and empathy for individuals with divergent points of view".[1] Fresno State confirmed that she was on leave from the university at the time the controversial comments were made.
Ten bucks says the 'leave' will be permanent, because she also did this:
Amid criticisms, Jarrar provided a telephone number on her twitter account as if it was her own contact number, encouraging and taunting those that disagreed with her to call in and voice their criticisms stating "If you really wanna reach me, here's my number ok?"[12] However, the listed number ended up going to a suicide/crisis line at Arizona State University resulting in a deluge of thousands of spam callers to overwhelm the mental health crisis center. Two days after Jarrar's tweet, the mental health crisis center continued to receive somewhere between 50 to 70 spam calls coming in per minute.
Who spams a mental health crisis center?
This bitch:
Just ... wow. What if someone committed suicide when they couldn't get through to the hotline, because of her jackassery?
She would most likely just say that it was "God's will", and she will not be fired.
"bitch" is too nice! unbelievable.
She's the stand in for Miss Piggy.

Why are you doing this?
Are you inferring that you are in agreement with what said professor said and did?
Trump's buddy Roger Stone certainly is:
.
So another dumbass made some vile comments. It certainly doesn't excuse the professor for her own comments just because someone was dumb enough to agree with her.
Do you agree with them?
I do find it curious that you folks are whining about some random college professor rather than one of Trump's closest confidants.
Can you read?
What did I wrote?
Some dumbass was making vile comments. That would be Roger Stone.
It isn't acceptable to most humans no matter who says those vile things.
Look, I know you want to make everything under the sun about Trump, but he didn't have a fucking thing to do with the words that come out of Roger Stone's mouth or the words that come out of that dumbass professor's mouth.
What part of this is confusing you so much?
Give it a rest, right? I would expect some decorum from a professor.
And continues to show why she doesn't deserve to continue to get paid by a 'School of Higher Learning'. What a jackwad. I wonder if she would be okay with someone dying becuase they were trying to call and couldn't get through? I'm sure she'd be okay with it, you know, they are just those 'little people'.
Based on her bio, would likely be 'Allah's Will'.
First, you used the word "inferring" incorrectly. That correct word for that sentence is "implying" and the answer is no. I saying that descending to fat insults makes the one doing that look even worse than the target of the insult. I'm being generous by saying it puts that person at about the 5th grade level of maturity.
Thank you for the correction, however I believe inferring and implying may be interchangeable in this case although I could be wrong. I was just asking a honest question and meant no offense and my apologies if any was taken.
inferring works....

I hope her students have refused to attend her classes.
Obviously the answer is no!
Good one!
She has embarrassed her profession.
She might learn - as have so many others before her - that freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from repercussions when you say something disgusting. Especially if you put your employer in a bad light.
This professor has some strange ideas about tenure. Under normal circumstances tenure prevents a professor from being fired or let go without cause. It doesn't mean that she has lifetime employment. I'm not certain that her behavior, however despicable, rises to an offense that will cause Jarrar to lose her position. I would think that her courses, if elective, will see a marked decline in enrollment. She might be brilliant and have controversial political views. She is also a bigot and a hater regardless of what her political ideology may be. For that she deserves universal condemnation.
What she is not, is representative of any particular group's point of view. She is an individual voice spewing a hateful screed. We should all provide her with backlash.....democrat, republican, independent.......liberal, conservative, middle of the road.......There should be no place for hate.
She obviously over estimates her value to her workplace, that she can't easily be replaced by someone with more intelligence than to openly make the kind of comments that she did, and understands that there is a fine line between freedom of speech and the integrity of ones workplace.
If she isn't fired, she should at least be demoted to toilet janitor.
But she has had her racist views for a long time (and well known). Seems the University didn't care about her hateful statements prior to these ugly statements.
Her comment about Barbara being "racist" was not only uncalled for, but as far as I know, false. The rest of her statement is a matter of opinion but based in some solid fact. There certainly could be a case made against the Bush/Cheney regime for war crimes. They certainly authorized torture in violation of the Geneva conventions, though the US refused to sign on. And they got us embroiled in a war based on false premises which if it could be definitively proven that Bush or Cheney intentionally cooked the intelligence to suit their desire to start a war in Iraq to profiteer off their oil, then they'd certainly be guilty of war crimes and sending thousands of US troops to their deaths.
With that said, I think Bush took a fairly strong stance against racial profiling of Muslims and never attacked their religion just because the attackers were all Muslim extremists from Saudi Arabia.
"Like the good folks standing with me, the American people were appalled and outraged at last Tuesday's attacks. And so were Muslims all across the world. Both Americans and Muslim friends and citizens, tax-paying citizens, and Muslims in nations were just appalled and could not believe what we saw on our TV screens. These acts of violence against innocents violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith. And it's important for my fellow Americans to understand that.
The English translation is not as eloquent as the original Arabic, but let me quote from the Koran, itself: In the long run, evil in the extreme will be the end of those who do evil. For that they rejected the signs of Allah and held them up to ridicule.
The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That's not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace." - George W. Bush - 9/17/2001
So no clue why this apparent Muslim American woman is calling Barbara "racist".
You're getting savvier. Always leave an out, right?
As you could say the same about President Obama also, but that has nothing to do with lack of class this woman used to mark the death of a pretty universally loved first ladt.
Giving out a crisis hotline number as her number is an asshole move and could prevent someone (or more thanone) form getting help they desperately need. If I was in the leadership at Fresno, I would have to look at her judgement as a factor in her retention. And I would not look kindly at that. Plus, she is piling on more andmore things after insulting the former first lady, who has passed away. Normal people understand you don't speak ill of the dead.
I'm glad to see unanimous condemnation of her so far. She is really a twisted person.
Don't be so sure.
The backlash is growing, and this isn't an isolated incident.
Hey, this is nothin' compared to the bile Roger Stone (Dump's favorite fellator) has been heaping on Babs since her death. Here's a sampler:
What a cutie, eh? As for hell, if it exists, no would would have more of a direct line to its ruler about who's going there than Roger.
That is horrible. What is wrong with these people?
Wish I could say I were surprised, but given the source...
Stone is buttering up Trump, who cannot stand the Bushes. And of course the Infowars crowd has no use for the 'globalist' Bush family either.
That's an exceedingly nice way of putting what Stone exists to do.
I think you need to stop now.

Please no one respond to this comment. Thanks.
Sunshine,
Thank you for doing your part in moderation.
Do you realize that you've managed to keep it up even as Perrie took it down? You might want to ask Perrie to delete that if it's too late for you to do it yourself.
You are welcomed.
That is true, atheist. I am removing it for context.
It's almost as if I'd help the hangman put the noose around my neck, eh? I don't suppose I'd get any points for it, though, right?

Maybe, you need to understand a little about that quote.
Those who fled to the Dome before and after Katrina are from the lowest of low areas known for poverty. That and the Ninth Ward. Once in the Dome they were given comfort. Food, warmth, clothes and a comfort zone. Some stopped in Baton Rouge not wanting to get far from home. They, also, were allowed to bring their pets. Houston opened their arms to them. So many stayed, but the irony of it all is that most of these same people were materially, destroyed, again, when the floods rolled in to Houston,
Mrs. Bush recognized the underprivileged that were being saved. If anyone should be saved it should be them as they have been through enough.
Facing one's immortality. Have I said and done everything properly and did I leave this world having offended them? If I did, I am most truly sorry. I thought I did my best, but I didn't. I am sorry.
Some just don't have any decency anymore. I did flag the comment.
A complete, utter fabrication without ANY proof.
Shocking!
Yeah, her documented direct quotes and their presence on tape were totally "fake."
Can you stick to the topic?
I notice that, of course, all of the Dump supporters are enjoying attacking this woman for poor manners and ugly talk. That's typical of them and always good for a laugh and a half.
I do know you from NV. I haven't run into anyone of NT who speaks with such evil. How are your studies going? U have been through so much in your life that is not good. I am sorry. You said many times you like to be on the bad end.
Certainly, doesn't. I was just pointing out that I am quite familiar with his negative antics.
Geez, and you people call liberals "snowflakes."
So, who was I?
Who cares?
YOU PEOPLE?????? RACIST!!!
Well, gee, I wonder why people are attacking the professor.
Now, what could it POSSIBLY be?
SMH
I have despised Trump for decades and I'm also attacking this woman for her ugly talk. And if someone had posted an article about what Roger Stone said, I'd attack him for it as well. My views of Trump have nothing to do with what I think about this woman.
Thank you katrix. A voice of maturity in the woods of childishness.
Comment removed for sweeping generalizations [ph] for supporting the every day vile sewage that comes out of the filthy mouth of the insufferable Shitbag in the White House as they attack this insignificant woman's rantings. And then they go even lower than her by attacking her appearance.
She, Roger Stone and Alex Jones the ''three stooges'' is probably the best thing I could say about them.
Hell, Mrs. Bush IMO was a class act, those three asswipes are not even close to being in her league.
Even though I left the Republican party years ago, Barbara Bush was always one of my favorite First Lady's. She told it like it was, and had no patience for stupidity and false pride. She pandered to no one, and held those who did with disdain. She held the respect of even those who disliked her Husband and Sons on the political front. In many ways, she reminded me of Eleanor Roosevelt. She held the country and its people with high regard, regardless of their political or religious preferences, or financial status. A real Lady of America.
She will never be fired? She needs to be fired NOW. Disgusting woman. Mrs. Bush was a wonderful woman and a class act all the way around. I would argue that Mrs. Bush was the best First Lady we have ever had. Values, strength, honesty, class, morals...amazing woman.
I would put her and like Raven said Eleanor Roosevelt as the best. Both smart and straight forward also.
Have to close for the night.
"J a rrar, who in her Twitter messages describes herself as an Arab-American and a Muslim-American woman, goes on to maintain that she is a tenured professor and makes $100,000 a year."
Ward (shit for brains) Churchill thought that exact same crap language would protect him too.
Hopefully her career as a professor is kaput, but then the domestic terrorists Bill Ayers and his wife went on to influence our young minds.
She is "EVERYTHING" the "Left" likes to throw around the political spectrum as "Worthy" though. She "Has it All"....just like Bogey and Bacall !
