A longtime instructor who said that men who don’t vote for a female president should be shot is no longer employed by the University of Kansas. Watch what he said below and click here to follow my Rumble television channel.
“(If you think) guys are smarter than girls, you’ve got some serious problems,” the man in the video said. “That’s what frustrates me. There are going to be some males in our society that will refuse to vote for a potential female president because they don’t think females are smart enough to be president. We could line all those guys up and shoot them. They clearly don’t understand the way the world works. Did I say that? Scratch that from the recording. I don’t want the deans hearing that I said that.”
KU announced in a statement Friday that Dr. Phil Lowcock, a lecturer in the Department of Health, Sport & Exercise Sciences, was no longer working for KU and said the school is “working to identify a new instructor to assume the responsibility for his classes, and we are working with the students impacted by this change.”
“The instructor has apologized to me and other university leaders,” she said. “He has explained to us that his intent was to emphasize his advocacy for women’s rights and equality, and he recognizes he did a very poor job of doing so.”
KU Provost Barbara A. Bichelmeyer told television station KCTV that Lowcock’s remarks were unacceptable.
“The free expression of ideas is essential to the functioning of our university, and we fully support the academic freedom of our teachers as they engage in classroom instruction,” she said. “Academic freedom, however, is not a license for suggestions of violence like we saw in the video. While we embrace our university’s role as a place for all kinds of dialogue, violent rhetoric is never acceptable.”
The instructor’s statements brought fierce and immediate condemnation from Kansas Republicans — including Dalton Glasscock, a prominent Republican leader in the state and a city councilman in Wichita.
“This isn’t the first time that you’ve had radicalized professors talking at the University of Kansas,” Glasscock told me on my national radio show. “And I could probably list at least one professor I know now that probably harbors similar sentiments. I don’t know if there would be as bold to say front of a classroom. But it is disgusting what’s happening on university campuses across the country.“
Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) was one of the first to call for the instructor to be fired.
“This guy shouldn’t be within 100 yards of a university and I am calling for his swift termination,” Marshall wrote on X. “Anyone saying men who don’t vote for Kamala Harris should be ‘lined up and shot’ is deranged and shouldn’t be around students nor academia.”
What’s even more disturbing is that the instructor’s comments were made after two assassination attempts against former President Trump. It’s time to root out the violent rhetoric spewing from our taxpayer-funded university classrooms.
