WELLESLEY, MA. (THECOUNT) — Babson College professor Asheen Phansey is looking for a new job after making a “joke” about Iran bombing the United States in retaliation to alike comments made by President Trump.
Amid recent tensions between Washington and Tehran, during which Trump threatened to target 52 sites “important to Iran & the Iranian culture,” Phansey stupidly suggested that Iran’s supreme leader might want do the same.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei “should tweet a list of 52 sites of cultural American heritage that he would bomb,” Phansey, an adjunct professor and administrator at Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, wrote on Facebook earlier this week. “Um . . . Mall of America? . . . Kardashian residence?”
He would later describe the post as a “bad attempt at humor,” telling Boston news outlets that he was only poking fun at the nation’s relative lack of ancient culture. But his apology couldn’t save his job: The business school announced Thursday it had fired him, reports Morganton.
“This particular post from a staff member on his personal Facebook page clearly does not represent the values and culture of Babson College,” the college said in a statement.

about time some action is taken against these Liberal scum for their comments and violent actions. I think McDonald is hiring he would fit right in.
