“On Wednesday,
Mount Holyoke College announced that the newly-selected campus police chief
Daniel Hect was placed on administrative leave after a backlash when students
discovered he had liked conservative tweets on his Twitter account.”
(What??
“(S)tudents discovered” his Tweets, complained, and the college administration
sent him away from his job? Students complained? That’s all it takes to shove
someone aside these days?
(“We don’t like
the way you think.” Not a quote from anybody, but assuredly a statement of
fact.)
“The MHC
student who shared screenshots of the tweet said it was ‘unacceptable for
someone in charge of keeping any community safe, let alone a campus as diverse
as MHC’s, to be publicly displaying his support for hateful regimes and
organizations, as well as for individuals who demonize migrants from Mexico or
other latin american nations.’”
(The MHC student? Did that one MHC
student cause the “backlash?”
(I am glad not
to be in the education business.)
