University of Maryland Women's Studies Professor Ashwini Tambe has a history of using her Twitter account to make incredibly provocative statements. Most recently, the blog SoCawlege gathered together a list of some of the most controversial Tweets from this woman, who has been charged with molding the minds of America's young college students.
Among the most bizarre were her calls for what she described as "Men Control," which is apparently necessary since men commit the majority of violent crimes in this country. Not sure how these new regulations would work. I guess I'd need to register myself with authorities.
She also was a defender of the now-debunked Rolling Stone article on the UVA rape controversy and continued her defense long after the story had been proven to be inaccurate.
But of all the statements, one Tweet that she wrote earlier this year following the Charlie Hebdo Massacre in Paris really grabbed our attention:
It's fairly obvious that the biggest problem that Professor Tambe would have with a successful attempt of Limbaugh's life wouldn't be the murder itself, but rather the possibility that people might rally to support the talk radio show host's freedom of speech in the same way they did when Islamic terrorists killed 12 cartoonists over what they deemed to be offensive images of the Prophet Mohamed.
Liberals don't like Rush Limbaugh. We get that. But, as we are all aware, college campuses and the liberal professors that hold court there view some types of political speech as being more worthy of "freedom" than others.
While Tambe doesn't appear to be endorsing the murder of Rush Limbaugh, her uneasiness with the idea of Americans defending his right to speak his mind is pretty classless. Her hypothetical is something a conservative professor would never dream of Tweeting out about one of the country's influential liberal leaders with any hope of keeping his job.
