Northern Kentucky Professor Encourages Stealing of Crosses Because She Doesn't Like Them

The Kentucky Post reports:

A Northern Kentucky University literature professor could be disciplined for her role in the removal of nearly 400 crosses that were erected on campus as part of a display by a right to life group.

Tenured professor Sally Jacobsen, who has been teaching at NKU since 1980, said she found the display offensive and asked students in her British literature class Wednesday night if they wanted to take down the crosses.

During a break in class, Jacobsen said she asked "if any students wanted to participate in practicing their freedom of speech in destroying the very offensive right to life, anti-abortion display in the central plaza."

"Some did," she said.

Jacobsen wouldn't say if she participated in taking down the crosses, which campus police later recovered in campus trash cans.

NKU President Jim Votruba said police are continuing to investigate and would turn the matter over to Campbell County prosecutors and the university administration for review.

He said Jacobsen and the 10 to 12 students involved, whom police have not yet identified, could face disciplinary action.

"In my mind, this is a serious violation of a faculty member's responsibilities and undermines what a university is established to do," Votruba said.

He dismissed as "a ludicrous comment" Jacobsen's assertion that students were expressing freedom of speech, saying it doesn't apply to vandalizing or stealing property.

It appears Comrade Jacobsen is nothing more than a thief who doesn't respect property rights.Not respecting property is very common among tenured professors so I guess we shouldn't be suprised.It's too bad taxpayers have to fund Comrade Jacobsen's salary.Hating Christianity for fun and for profit.
