[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Body of UNCW Prof Mike Adams, 55, was found at his Wilmington home on Thursday when sheriffs department did a wellness check
- His death comes less than a month after the university announced he would retire early following a petition to oust him for making controversial remarks
- The tenured criminology professor recently reached a $504,702 settlement with UNCW for lost salary and lost retirement benefits
- On May 29 Adams tweeted: 'I almost felt like a free man who was not living in the slave state of North Carolina. 'Massa Cooper, let my people go!'
- Another tweet on May 28, read: 'Don't shut down the universities. Shut down the non essential majors. Like Women's Studies'
- In 2016, Adams had also sparked outrage when he suggested a Muslim student was 'a terrorist and that gay marriage was bad as rape'
...or something about Muslims and about gay marriage, but his enemies, who are legion and loud were perfectly happy to put their own words in his mouth...
| This joyful warrior battled fiercely for freedom of speech and thought in the university for two decades, along the way winning a tenure battle originally denied to him because of exactly the kind of nonsense that drove him from the Democratic party and youthful atheism to mature conservatism and Christianity, and in the end led to this early retirement. |
