University Issues Stunning Response After Professor Celebrates Barbara Bush’s Death

She’s a professor of literature who doesn’t know what “manners” means. While the adults of the country acknowledged the loss of former first lady Barbara Bush with respect from the White House on down, a professor at California State University Fresno was taking to social media to cheer about the death of a 92-year-old woman who’d spent her life serving her country. That was bad. But the university’s response was worse.
Randa Jarrar, a tenured professor at Fresno State, kicked off a lengthy Twitter harangue about Bush’s death Tuesday with an obscene Twitter post. She has since made her Twitter account private, but not before news outlets grabbed screen shots. This is first, from Fox News. (The “f-word” has been redacted here.)
Really classy, right?
In another Twitter post, according to the Fresno Bee, Jarrar bragged about the attention she was getting, and made sure to note that she is both an Arab-American and a Muslim, as though either characteristic gave her the right to disrespect the dead.
“If you’d like to know what it’s like to be an Arab American Muslim American woman with some clout online expressing an opinion, look at the racists going crazy in my mentions right now,” she wrote.
OK, so the woman has some personal problems with the politics of the country. She apparently considers George W. Bush a “war criminal” for defending the United States against Islamic terrorism. It didn’t stop there.
