Stacey Dash
Asra Nomani is a writer and Muslim activist who as a lifelong liberal and two-time Obama voter, entered the voting booth on November 8th and selected Donald Trump as the next president.
She wrote her “confession” in a special for The Washington Post and has been on the receiving end of some good old fashioned liberal tolerance ever since. One person who has been relentlessly on her case is Georgetown University Professor Christine Fair. The two were once colleagues at GU where Nomani used to teach journalism.
Proving she’s not as pro-choice as she’d like to think she is, Fair took to Twitter to lambaste Nomani for her personal voting choice:
Nomani, on the other hand, proved herself a lady and told Fair to take a break and some deep breaths but Fair wasn’t finished:
And it didn’t stop there. Just a few weeks later, Fair, still seething over Nomani the “traitor,” hurled even more insults in a Facebook open letter:
She sounds so delightful, doesn’t she?
After that message, Nomani felt it appropriate to issue a complaint against the professor to Georgetown U and request some form of action. However, Fair said she has no authority at the school to make such a request and added that involving a person’s employer has become a “very dangerous trend:”
“I am most concerned about the increasing appeal to employers to silence the criticism of citizens made in their private capacity as citizens. Because most of us need our jobs, as few of us are financially independent, this is the most pernicious form of bullying of critics.”
Sure, no one should be fired simply because they have an opinion, but progressives are pretty much the experts at doing so (see Firefox CEO Brendan Eich, as PJ Media pointed out). Plus, when the attacks are as non-stop as Fair’s have been, perhaps it’s time to assess whether she has the mental stability to teach objectively in her classroom.
