A college professor in West Virginia has been placed on leave after telling her students that she hopes supporters of a “certain person” running for president get coronavirus “and die before the election.”
Video posted on social media identifies the teacher as Jennifer Mosher, a biology professor at Marshall University who made the inflammatory comments during an online class.
“I’ve become the type of person where I hope they all get it and die, I’m sorry,” she said, most likely referring to some supporters of President Trump, who don’t wear masks at campaign rallies. “I said to somebody yesterday, I hope they all die before the election. That’s the only saving hope I have.”
She doesn’t refer to Trump by name but says a “certain person is holding rallies.”
Mosher then notes, “I really should not be talking politics.”
It’s unclear when Mosher made the comments, but a statement from Marshall University on Friday said it became “aware of an overtly political statement made by a faculty member.”
“The university does not support or condone the use of any of its educational platforms to belittle people or wish harm on those who hold differing political views,” the statement said.

Until these fool's are held accountable. This type of childish behavior will continue. Why people continue to send their kids to college with these type of people.. Don't they look into the people teaching courses?? Especially for the money they spend.
Free speech and paid leave at 250k a year not bad.
That's as despicable as hoping your rival's (football team) plane would crash! Liberalism is a mental disorder...

Creepy comment
What? Look into a person’s mouth?
Not leave. She needs to be terminated.
Must have been referring to joey, not my good president.
What are you smoking? When was the last time a college professor made 250 grand a year?
I see comments posted by "conservatives" at this site every day spouting the same sentiments. Not saying it's right. Just pointing out your blatant hypocrisy.
I seem to recall dissecting something like that in science class.
Elizabeth Warren.

Just to name a few. Not including perks.
4:20 You sound creepy.
5:21 No you don’t. What a feeble attempt at deflecting.
4:20 It's always better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you're FOOL. Instead of opening it and proving it. But you being from SU. You might not understand.
250?? Rrrriiiiggghhhhttt.
LMAO. Blatant hypocrisy?? That's what libutards call FACTS. But give us some examples next time. Don't just Queer Smear.
This is because marxist idealogy insist the slaughter of ANY different opinions. This dangerous cancer needs to be removed..marxism is a FAILURE!! The problem is scholls are full of these demostic enemies/traitors.
Can you please give an example of a post on here where a conservative professor is saying a Biden supporter deserves to die? Go ahead, We are waiting. Someone referring to a post is not the same as a professor. Also my kids are at Wor WIC and their conservative teachers have been wonderful and fair. The liberals can be very nasty and unfair. Just the way it is.
How does one look into somebody?
What is that?
Like look into his eyes?
The University education system needs to be burnt down
College bad. Ignorance good. SU evil.
simply TERMINATE HER EMPLOYMENT
442 and 843 - its online for anyone to see. You think these IVY league or Big Football team colleges only pay the coaches?
Huh huh huh...its all online and very eye-opening too.
Jennifer, your 15 minutes are up.
People cheer when someone says something like this against people they don't like. Then freedom of speech is acceptable. I read inappropriate comments on here all the time about blacks, Muslims, Hilliary Clinton, Barak Obama, Joe Biden that are racist, Xenophobic and just cruel and should never even be published on this blog. But when someone says something against a white conservative, a Christian or Trump you all are screaming about them losing their jobs etc. You can't have it both ways. Stop instigating and fanning the flames if your going to cry when you get punched back.
11:32 You just described all liberals. You seem upset that others think what this woman said is inappropriate. And I’d be willing to bet you’ve called the President many things that we’re untrue. So get off your high horse. Everyday for the last 4 years I’ve read in the news or social media someone trashing Trump for “rumors and innuendo’s“. In fact you took a line from ole creepy joe himself about fanning the flames. And then there’s Hunter Biden. Not a peep about his dealings with China and Burmisa from the media. So please do me a favor and gtfoh with your fake outrage. Conservatives are punching back and it appears you’re crying about it🙄 #hypocrite
Elizabeth Warren is still being paid $400,000 a year for being a “visiting professor” at Harvard. As a Senator she sees that Harvard receives millions of federal dollars of taxpayer dollars (aka Federal Grants). Otherwise known as quid pro quo.
843 a quick search would reveal such a finding. Matter of fact it’s a bit higher depending on the college
Elizabeth Warren was at 450k a year for one class one hour a week. Probably more now

I believe the homosexuals are safe here.
Nobody cares what kind of sex you have.
Commenter was referring to conservative comments vs. liberal comments.
You missed the point. A professor making a ridiculous comment about wishing people dead on either side would be condoned here. No one is talking about individual posters. That is a different topic darlin. I have not seen one post on here that condones that kind of behavior on either side so you are totally wrong.
All day you do this.
ONLY the Democrat supporters should get it !!
She needs to get her hillbilly ass back up the holler to her shack and feed the hogs......something she is qualified to do.
