Legal immigrant prof’s criticisms of illegal immigration result in calls for his ouster

Legal immigrant prof’s criticisms of illegal immigration result in calls for his ouster


A legal Chinese immigrant professor from Georgia Gwinnett College is facing harsh criticism calls for his termination following “controversial” remarks he made about illegal immigration.
According to the Atlanta Journal ConstitutionFang Zhou of the college’s history department used phrases such as “ghetto thugs” and “libtards” on social media, and said he has a sign in his office which reads “Deportation of illegal immigrants.”
Zhou said he “speaks truth to power” in his class and teaches about “the financial drain of illegal immigration on the economy and the high crime rates of illegal immigrants.” Upon completion of his course, Zhou said his students are “overwhelmingly against” illegal immigration.
Democratic Georgia State Representative Bee Nguyen, who’s of Vietnamese descent, posted some of Zhou’s comments on Twitter noting he was “sharing ‘inflammatory terminology'” and spreading “false narratives” about illegals.
She asked, “Are these the values supported by Georgia Gwinnett College?”
