Florida Atlantic U. moves to fire their conspiracy theorist

It's baffling and even amazing when you consider who is teaching our college-age kids nowadays. From socialists to communists, hard left liberals and progressives, Black Lives Matters advocates and just plain paranoid morons.
James Tracy 

Take, for example, Florida Atlantic University's James Tracy, an associate professor in the School of Communication and Multimedia Studies.

The Sun Sentinel reported that Tracy recently feuded publicly with the parents of one of the kids who died in the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting. 

Tracy is not a stranger to conspiracy theorizing and in 2013 he wrote on his private 
Memory Hole Blog that the Sandy Hook shooting in Newtown, CT was probably staged. The university reprimanded him for not making it clear that his views did not represent those of the school.

In fact, his views don't represent those of a normal human being. It's clear that his blog, Memory Hole is named only half appropriately (he got the "hole" part right).

This academic idiot has since claimed that almost every mass shooting or attack on the U.S. has been a hoax: the Boston Marathon, the Washington Navy Yard in D.C., the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, in South Carolina, and even San Bernadino, CA which was his most recent delusional thought.

Things got really bad last week after Veronique and Lenny Posner, whose son, Noah was killed at Sandy Hook, wrote a letter to the Sun Sentinel accusing Tracy of taunting them. The letter stated, in part that "Tracy is among those who have personally sought to cause our family pain and anguish by publicly demonizing our attempts to keep cherished photos of our slain son from falling into the hands of conspiracy theorists"

They also said that Tracy sent them a certified letter demanding proof that Noah once lived, that they were his parents and owned the rights to the photo. They wrote to the paper stating "We found this so outrageous and unsettling that we filed a police report for harassment. Once Tracy realized we would not respond, he subjected us to ridicule and contempt on his blog, boasting to his readers that the 'unfulfilled request' was 'noteworthy' because we had used copyright claims to 'thwart continued research of the Sandy Hook massacre event.'

Tracy's paranoid Facebook response regarding a "Sandy Hook Hoax" was "The local conspirators in Newtown, such as the alleged parents of the murdered children, including Lenny and Veronique Posner, have made out very well financially, soliciting contributions from generous yet misinformed Americans, where the families have averaged more than $1 million apiece."

The lunatic Tracy went on "The only proof Lenny has produced that Noah died in Sandy Hook is a death certificate he provided to one of the book's contributors, which has been revealed as a fabrication," according to comments made by Tracy. "If Noah actually died, there would have been no reason to fake it."

Gee, I always thought the burden of proof was on the person making the allegations, not the target subject of the allegations. 

This is so Alex Jonesish, another scumcrumpet who makes his money by saying things he pretends to prove. But at least he pretends to prove them.

The university responded Wednesday with this statement:
 December 16, 2015
In light of numerous requests from media outlets and the public, the University makes the following statement:
Today, James Tracy, an associate professor in the School of Communication and Multimedia Studies, was served a Notice of Proposed Discipline--Termination by the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs at Florida Atlantic University. In accordance with the University's Collective Bargaining Agreement with the United Faculty of Florida union, by which the University and James Tracy are bound, faculty who receive such notice are afforded a grievance process. James Tracy has 10 days to respond to the notice after which final action may be taken.
The school also said in a statement that it will make no further comment on the matter as it is their practice not to comment on personnel issues.

If you read Tracy's blog you can judge for yourself just how crazy this person appears to be. 

One thing is certain, anyone can say almost anything in the land of the free, but when they make allegations like Tracy, the burden of proof is on him, and all he has are crazy, paranoid theories.
