RR,

I read that as well. My guess is that his "website" is not directly affilated with the school, maybe it's a blog or something like that. It would be interesting if someone found it and posted a link if the articles in question are still posted.

Should he have been more careful not to post something that would air his political beliefs, especially since they have to do with something so touchy? What about him trying to find another job, especially with an article in the newspaper that lists his name being associated with a dispute between a college and teacher over a political issue? If you were about to get hired by this university, knowing that happened, would you take the job?

These are all very interesting things to think about.

Of course, such dissension could never cause job loss in US could it.

Email Prof Jones formerly of BYU to confirm.

Most of the political stuff on the internet is more or less for entertainment or a waste time. People get too wrapped up, self absorbed in their own blogs, thinking they are making a difference then it come back to haunt them. Plus look at all the cyber freaks that are online looking to cause a ruckus.

He wrote on the internet and got found out. Big deal.
