You're not required to like this guy's opinions one bit. But do you know what you can do about that?

3. not sure i see the problem here

first off, there's no such thing as "off-campus" speech on social media. social media is everywhere it's accessible, on and off campus, unless we're talking about certain specific issues that may arise from where a server is located - not the case here.

not sure it's unreasonable for a medical school, even a public one, to want its medical students to behave professionally, and to avoid doing things like accusing all democrats of supporting a genocide on babies and of being worse than nazis, which is basically what this guy did.

his discipline basically consisted of some getting some guidance about professional behavior and rewriting the facebook post "passionately, but professionally". presumably this mostly meant dropping the expletives.


i it's a bit different at the undergraduate level. for a professional school where an official certification to practice a profession dealing with the public is in the offing, i don't think it's unreasonable to impose certain behavioral standards.

frankly i do not want this person to be my doctor if i have any say in the matter.
