Dhimmitude being paid at a Catholic University. Just when you thought you’d seen it all! I’m not sure why the word “suspended” is being used, when he’s lost his position and benefits. It sounds like a form of firing under different a different term.
Professor Thomas Klocek stood up to some Israel hating Muslims outside of the class time at DePaul University. The Catholic professor’s reward from the Catholic university for his actions was a “suspension”. At the request of the anti-Israel groups, that had CAIR backing them up.
CAIR Gets DePaul Professor Suspended For “Offending” Muslim Students (Commentary by Jim Kouri.)
…
Klocek was suspended from the university following a campaign launched by pro-Palestinian student groups and the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). Klocek believes in Israel’s right to exist as a sovereign Jewish state within safe and secure borders.
CAIR and Muslim student groups told University officials that Klocek offended Muslim students when discussing Christian interests in Israel, disputing that Israeli treatment of Palestinians was akin to the Nazi treatment of the Jews, and then terminating the discussion when it appeared that the students were more interested in Israel-bashing than discussing the issues.
…
In an interview with Walking Eagle Productions, a documentary film company covering the DePaul controversy, Klocek said that he was suspended by DePaul administration, and ultimately lost his position and teaching benefits, after engaging in an out-of-class argument with pro-Palestinian students at a student activities fair on campus.
Klocek shared that he served 14 years a part-time adjunct professor in DePaul’s School of New Learning and that he was considered a popular professor, with large class enrollments and received excellent student reviews, with no prior complaints about Klocek’s behavior.
But after engaging in heated discussion with two Muslim student groups at a Student Involvement Fair on DePaul’s campus, the student groups Students for Justice in Palestine (SPJ) and United Muslims Moving Ahead (UMMA) went to the administration to call for Klocek’s firing. Both groups were backed by CAIR’s Chicago office, and other local Muslim advocate groups, some of whom called for even harsher punishment.

Of course if he trashed America or Israel he’d still have his job.
