Melissa Click, that Missouri State University communications professor who was fired for calling for “muscle” to remove a student journalist from a public protest, is now saying that she was fired because she’s white.
Yes, seriously.
#ad#I guess she must have realized that her most recent previous excuse — that she was fired because she didn’t know enough about journalists’ roles in public protests to know that threatening physical violence against students is not okay — wasn’t cutting it. (Or, as I pointed out in an earlier column, actually grounds for being fired in itself seeing as that’s definitely something that a communications professor affiliated with the journalism department should have known to have that job.)
That was, of course, bad enough. But now she’s gone and outdone herself:
“This is all about racial politics,” Click told the Chronicle of Higher Education.
“I’m a white lady,” she continued. “I’m an easy target.”
Um . . . wut?
#share#Listen, lady. One of your original defenses — even before that I-didn’t-know excuse — was that you should not have been fired because you were just “trying to do [your] best to help marginalized students.” (The use of the word “marginalized” here, of course, means “minority.”) The fact that she apparently saw such a drastic level of “help” — that is, threatening to violate another student’s physical safety and First Amendment rights — to be necessary suggests that she believed these students had an equally drastic need. It was so hard for minorities on campus that she had to do what she did, and so that’s why she was fired. Now she’s saying she was fired because it’s so hard to be a white lady? What?
#related#It really makes my head spin. This is almost as bad as Rachel Dolezal, the fake-black white lady who spent her whole life discussing racial identity, coming out and declaring “race is not real” after she got busted.
Honestly, I don’t know who’s crazier — but there’s one thing I do know for sure: In terms of demonstrating the flawed logic of the Left, these two really are the gift that keeps on giving. And for that, I am thankful.

John Kasich, one of only three still-standing GOP presidential candidates, isn’t featured in Oregon’s voters’ pamphlet for the May primary election — an embarrassing blunder for any major campaign. The state said the Kasich campaign failed to submit information by the March 10 deadline. It’s up to candidates to get their photos and statements into the pamphlet, which is one of the most cost-effective political advertising tools in the state, going out to the households of all 2.2 million registered voters.

Two seemingly unconnected events this weekend piqued my curiosity. First, I got to thinking about game theory watching The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly yesterday. The final showdown between Clint Eastwood, Lee van Cleef, and Eli Wallach is a "truel"; i.e., A three-way duel. How do the players in such a game decide who to shoot? Here's an interesting analysis of a stylized version of the truel problem. Interestingly, when the truel is played as a sequential process in which one play shoots first, then the second, then the third, and so on until only one is left standing,...

WASHINGTON, April 25, 2016—The Department of Justice now interprets Title IX to require colleges and universities to violate the First Amendment. In an April 22 findings letter concluding its investigation into the University of New Mexico’s policies and practices regarding sex discrimination, the Department of Justice (DOJ) found the university improperly defined sexual harassment. DOJ flatly declared that “[u]nwelcome conduct of a sexual nature”—including “verbal conduct”—is sexual harassment “regardless of whether it causes a hostile environment or is quid pro quo.” To comply with Title IX, DOJ states that a college or university “carries the responsibility to investigate” all speech ?
