Not only did he get fired, he also - after getting fired, so not just to save his ass - repeatedly publicly apologized and supported Palestinian freedom. That is a fantastic development and I can respect him as a human now. I can also respect his university for firing him for that dehumanizing tweet.
Looks like the campaign worked in every way. This is the good ending.
I don't really believe it either. But if people pretend to reform, and make it believable, we should (in general) let them. That's probably best that a lot of them are capable of anyway. It also shows the other fascists that there is an exit available. Accepting the W is generally the right call.
But still keep an eye on them. And the stubborn ones and especially heinous ones are another story obviously.
Tweet 'Free Palestine!' then we'll believe you. It is unacceptable for a faculty member to use genocidal language. You dug in your heels too, multiple tweets dehumanizing Palestinians, and supporting their ethnic cleansing. Do you have any Arab, Muslim or Palestinian students?
"I am so deeply sorry for verbally assaulting my girlfriend at Golden Corral. Just keep in mind I was going through a very tough time, not to mention she definitely started it by raising her voice and scaring me. Also ive never told anyone this before but she has a serious drug problem and behavioral issues plus I was abused as a kid technically if you count spankings. But anyway I apologize, from the bottom of my heart, that you took my actions the wrong way. By the way though, I didnt know I was being aggressive until........."
