Now we know that a professor can get away with saying literally anything about our president. Cal State professor who tweeted we should hang Trump gets disciplined with a nice long paid vacation.
The AP reports that Lars Maischak, a Cal State professor, tweeted, “To save American democracy, Trump must hang. The sooner and the higher, the better” and, “Justice = The execution of two Republicans for each deported immigrant,” along with several other tweets that were calling for violence. The university made a statement that Maischak has taken a voluntary leave of absence for the spring semester. Or to put things in layman's terms, he is getting a paid vacation as a result of his absurd statements on Twitter.
Here is the statement from the University's President Joseph Castro with regards to his paid vacation, I mean administrative leave.
Fresno State and History lecturer Dr. Lars Maischak have agreed upon a voluntary leave of absence for him for the remainder of the spring semester, effective immediately.
The agreement for the paid leave was reached in accordance with provisions in the collective bargaining agreement with the California Faculty Association, the union that represents all faculty. During his leave of absence, Dr. Maischak will no longer have a teaching role, but will be conducting research off campus.
Substitute faculty have been assigned to his five History 11 classes (American History to 1877) for the remainder of the semester so that students’ academic success is ensured.
The University’s review of this important matter continues. No further information can be shared at this time.
Of course his Twitter account has been deleted, but here are some of the nastier tweets he sent out, per the Lid:
Cal State Professor Disgusting Tweets
To save American democracy, Trump must hang. The sooner and the higher, the better. #TheResistance#DeathToFascismhttps://t.co/DSsV53sbO2

He wasn’t finished, however. “Has anyone started soliciting money and design drafts for a monument honoring the Trump assassin, yet?” the user wrote in another tweet a few days later, using the hashtag “TheResistance.”

And he advocated murdering Republicans to make up for the deportation of illegal immigrants.
#TheResistance #ethniccleansing Justice = The execution of two Republicans for each deported immigrant.

There’s more:
#TheResistance Mercy towards racists was always the fatal weakness of good Americans. 1865, 1965, they left too many of them alive.
— Lars Maischak (@LarsMaischak) February 27, 2017
And he’s made it clear he absolutely hates Trump voters:
#WhenCaliforniaSecedes You Fascist Trump-voting white trash scum can wallow in your filthy hell-holes of flyover states. Enjoy.
— Lars Maischak (@LarsMaischak) February 23, 2017
He’s also advocated banning the GOP:
#TheResistance A democracy must not be tolerant of those who want to abolish democracy. It must vigorously defend itself. Ban the @GOP
— Lars Maischak (@LarsMaischak) February 8, 2017
And he’s compared Trump to Hitler, which is pretty standard liberal stuff these days.
Oh there’s more — lots more. Just recently, he called the Constitution “rotten” and said liberals should reject it:
What ELSE – beyond Ghoulsuch – will it take for #Liberals to realize the #Constitution is rotten & does not merit their slavish affection?
— Lars Maischak (@LarsMaischak) April 6, 2017
And he clearly doesn’t like Judge Neil Gorsuch:
If #Gorsuch gets onto #SCOTUS, it will be time to ditch the #Constitution as unsuitable for a democracy. Fascist Oligarchy for the 1%.
— Lars Maischak (@LarsMaischak) April 4, 2017
He is also not a big fan of Christianity:
If only Mary had had an abortion! We would have been spared this Clerical-Fascist crap. #HisGlory, my ass!

Keep in mind, this was a guy who was hired to teach our youth history. Moving forward, professors at universities will know a quick and easy way to get a paid vacation.
Hat tip: Constitution
