Back in 2013, London had the sad duty to report the passing of their former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, whom many thought was a controversial figure of the 20th century and thus some hailed the news by requesting ‘ding dong the witch is dead’ (from ‘the Wizard of Oz’ movie) be played on BBC radio, to which the mostly leftwing state radio station obliged.

A debate ensued which asked that people would be left alone upon their passing, and commentators let the family deal with their remorse.

This week, the US saw the passing of Ms. Barbara Bush, a figure much less controversial we esteem. Yet a Professor from the state California, Ms. Randa Jarrar who is employed as Fresno State English professor thought her moment had come to spill into a bile-fuelled rampage at the Bush family, still in their grieving process.

Ms. Jarrar, who grew up in Kuwait and Egypt, stated: “Barbara Bush was a generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal. F*** outta here with your nice words.”

When people reacted rather dismayed to these harsh words, Ms. Jarrar went against them even harder, stating that she has tenure and can, therefore “never be fired.”

“I will always have people wanting to hear what I have to say.”

Fresno State University, realizing the extent of the bad press it would get, was then quick to offer its “deepest condolences to the Bush family.”

“We share the deep concerns expressed by others over the personal comments made by Professor Randa Jarrar. Her statements were made as a private citizen, not as a representative of Fresno State.”

In the past 12 hours, Ms. Jarrar’s account from Fresno State has been locked and she has been put on ‘leave’.
