University of Kansas Professor Suspended for Controversial Comments

Professor Advocates Violence Against Male Trump Supporters

A University of Kansas professor was put on suspension on Wednesday following the release of a video clip where he suggested that men who did not vote for Kamala Harris should be "lined up and shot". The video clip has since sparked outrage and controversy.

Video Clip Sparks Controversy

In the video, Phillip Lowcock, an athletics lecturer, can be heard addressing his students, saying, "If you think guys are smarter than girls, you’ve got some serious problems." He further expressed his frustration about men who would not vote for a potential female president due to the belief that women are not intelligent enough to hold such a position. He suggested that such men should be lined up and shot for their lack of understanding of how the world works. Lowcock quickly retracted his statement, saying, "Did I say that? Scratch that from the recording. I don’t want the deans hearing that I said that."

Public Reaction and Consequences

Despite his attempt to retract his statement, the damage was already done. The video clip had already been shared on social media, leading to a wave of backlash and criticism. In response, the University of Kansas suspended Lowcock.
