So let’s see if I’ve got this straight: Aging academics of average looks(by their own evaluation) want to showcase her gravity challenged boobs and his presumably medicated partner, Lil’ Elvis, while performing the Beast With Two Backs for paying customers in a quasi public forum, all for fame and fortune. Said academics are employed by a publicly supported institution which, even in these enlightened times, has at least a smidgen of responsibility to maintain a reasonably upright ( no pun intended) reputation and to exercise at least a token of commitment to the well being of those tender young souls delivered to their care. In a fit of rarely exhibited common sense, the governing board elects to fire their sorry asses for, at a minimum, exhibiting dismally bad judgment. On such compelling incidents are landmark Supreme Court decisions rendered. It ain’t exactly Letter from Birmingham Jail but, in these unserious times, it may be the best available to us.
