"The country is in an emergency. The Trump administration is kidnapping people off the street, deporting them to foreign prisons, jailing and threatening to deport students who demonstrated in support of Palestinians," statistics professor Yali Amit wrote in his email to students. "As a small contribution to this day of action I am cancelling the midterm and calling you, if you are able, to join the Chicago demonstration announced here." (with links)

Fire this teacher NOW. And if he’s not a citizen, show him the door.
So anyone who is not a citizen with a different opinion than our current President should be deported? So the next President could deport Elon Musk? Some in the GOP have outlined how they want to “denaturalize” citizens and then deport them. Surely the next President would have the same authority.

Incitement is against the law, so is bribery. I don’t want my children indoctrinated and encouraged to try to impose their views on others through ridiculous and dangerous mass protests. Nothing says “sheep” like chanting with a few hundred strangers.
Amit makes a strong case for the review and possible revocation of student visas and changes of inciting resurrection. To reward students by giving them the impetus to protest, instead of, oh I don’t know, actually educating them is as reprehensible as his continued employment.
How about this professor teach his stats course, not push his left beliefs on students.
In a sane world Yali Amit would have to seek employment elsewhere.
