Catholic University Professor Suspended for Racist Tweets About Barack Obama and Kamala Facebook)
A Catholic University professor has been suspended after students complained he made racist comments on his Twitter account about former President Barack Obama and Senator Kamala Harris, according to The Sun.
John Tieso, who was an adjunct assistant professor at the Busch School of Business at Catholic University in Washington, D.C., initially had his Twitter account suspended when WUSA 9 reported that a student uncovered tweets from his personal Twitter feed that were racist in nature pertaining to Obama and Harris.
WUSA 9 obtained a copy of an anonymous letter from a student at another university that had been sent to the dean of the Busch School of Business last week.
One of the tweets, posted to Tieso’s account on July 8, 2018, had been a retweeted photo of the former president with the caption, “That’s the Obama we all came to know and hate.
Tieso said he deleted his account shortly after conversations with Catholic University officials.
