This Leftist Loony love for the Devilcrats and especially king Obama is a joke! ‘“You now have to prove you’re not guilty instead of them proving that you are.”
That’s what a conservative instructor told The College Fix in an exclusive interview Monday, hours after his university suspended him from teaching scheduled summer classes because of his tweets.
John Tieso (above) is already considering legal action against the local news station that first connected his Twitter account to his adjunct professor job at Catholic University of America. He hasn’t ruled out suing the university, either.
According to the professor, WUSA9 went digging for dirt on him after it saw one of his tweets. The station reported Wednesday that Tieso’s Twitter account “was removed” after a meeting with his boss, Busch School of Business Dean Andrew Abela, to discuss his allegedly “racially-charged” speech online.
“Your Twitter account has to go if you want to stay a member of the faculty,” Abela (left) told Tieso, according to a phone conversation that Tieso recounted to The Fix. “You really ought to stay off social media for 6 months to let this die down.” Tieso deleted his account shortly after.
Before Tieso shared his communications with The Fix, the administration refused to say whether Abela or any other official issued Tieso an ultimatum to delete his Twitter account or risk losing his job.
Asked to confirm details about Tieso’s suspension and explain what had changed since his conversation with Abela, leading to the suspension, a spokesperson told The Fix: “We have nothing further to add to our earlier statement.”
Tieso’s LinkedIn profile says he’s been teaching at CUA since 2013. In September 2018 he was bumped up to “adjunct assistant professor” from lecturer in management, in which he taught business and data management to undergraduates and health informatics and management to graduate students.
The job is not just a way to keep busy after retiring from careers in the federal government and independent consulting. He relies on the CUA salary to pay for his wife’s medical treatment, Tieso told The Fix in a phone interview.
And he blames WUSA9 anchor Larry Miller for imperiling his livelihood. In May 5 emails between the two men that Tieso shared with The Fix, Miller first asks the professor for an interview without specifying the subject.
Asked for details, Miller responds the subject is “tweets you’ve authored.” Pressed again, the anchor said “[m]ultiple people have reached out to us regarding the nature of these tweets and others like it.”
Miller (below) cited a tweet that he said was dated May 5. It referred to Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris – whose parents are Jamaican and Indian immigrants – as a “former escort.” (Harris has been dogged by accusations since the start of her political career that she dated Willie Brown – at the time the speaker of the California Assembly, twice her age and still married – to kickstart her entry into politics.)
The other tweet referred to a speech by former President Barack Obama in Africa, where he allegedly talked about his wealth. Tieso called him “[i]ncredibly incompetent and vain” and suggested Obama “consider staying in Africa and giving all his money to his people.”’ https://www.thecollegefix.com/university-suspends-professor-for-criticizing-barack-obama-kamala-harris-in-tweets/
