Iowa Community College Makes ‘Decision to Remove’ Antifa Professor
2019-08-27
[BREITBART] A professor who admitted to local press that he is a member of the far-left krazed killer group Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
has been removed from his position at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

According to a blurb obtained by Campus Reform, Kirkwood Community College President Lori Sundberg made the "decision to remove ... from the classroom" Professor Jeff Klinzman after he admitted to being a part of the violent left-wing political group Antifa.

On Thursday, Klinzman admitted to a local media outlet that he is active with Antifa. According to the local media report, Klinzman expressed his desire to engage in political violence in a comment posted to an Antifa Facebook page.

On the Facebook page for "Iowa Antifa", one can find a litany of far-left statements and conversations. One of them features a tweet from President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
where he calls the group, "Radical Left Wack Jobs who go around hitting... people over the heads with baseball bats". Professor Klinzman wrote in response, "Yeah, I know who I’d clock with a bat..."

Although he refused to be interviewed, Klinzman confirmed to the local news outlet that he considers himself a member of Antifa, leading to a backlash in the Kirkwood community. On Friday, Sundberg announced that she had made the "decision to remove" Professor Klinzman from his teaching duties, citing safety concerns.

#8  That grifter Morris Dees has always been a racketeer.

The guy got his start in multi-level marketing, not "bending the long arc of justice."

IIRC the SPLC actually got so disgusted with him they kicked him out recently - though not for his grifting. Which tells you all you need to know about the rot within that outfit.

#7  The left-wing SPLC is a left-wing enabling organization

Originally part of the Civil Rights movement, it has.... progressed.

#6  Out of curiosity, I checked the SPLC to see what they said about Antifa as a hate group. Nada.

The left-wing SPLC is a left-wing enabling organization and thus a part of the problem. A worthless organization as is Antifa.

#4  Clearly this person had terrible judgement, its better off for the school to get rid of them before they make national news with some Antifa violence that can't be hushed up by a compliant media.

#3  Many community college faculty members don't have far left ideologies. Many are working stiffs trying to make a living.
