A Michigan professor has been placed on leave after he referred to the COVID-19 pandemic as a “leftist” stunt, and posted other messages online that Twitter deemed racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic.
Ferris State University physical science professor Thomas Brennan defended the posts in which he used racist slurs and claimed the health crisis was intended to create “a leftist new world order,” news station WZZM reported.
“I just have to speak out, to try to speak my conscience. I can’t be silent and watch this happen,” Brennan told the news station.
In tweets first reported by the student newspaper The Torch, Brennan claimed the virus was actually a “stunt.”
Sadly you get in trouble for telling the truth!
