That sounds like cause!
James Tracy, a professor who wrote that the mass killing of children at Sandy Hook Elementary School was an elaborate, staged hoax designed to pass gun-control legislation, has been fired from his job at Florida Atlantic University.
University officials began the termination process last month, after parents Lenny and Veronique Pozner wrote an opinion piece in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "It's been three years since we last embraced our precious little boy, Noah," they wrote. "At six-years-old, he was the youngest child murdered at the Sandy Hook Elementary School."
The Pozners added that "to our horror, we have found that there are some in this society who lack empathy for the suffering of others. Among them are the conspiracy theorists that deny our tragedy was real. They seek us out and accuse us of being government agents who are faking our grief and lying about our loss."
"Tracy even sent us a certified letter demanding proof that Noah once lived, that we were his parents, and that we were the rightful owner of his photographic image," they said. "We found this so outrageous and unsettling that we filed a police report for harassment. Once Tracy realized we would not respond, he subjected us to ridicule and contempt on his blog, boasting to his readers that the 'unfulfilled request' was 'noteworthy' because we had used copyright claims to 'thwart continued research of the Sandy Hook massacre event.' "
"James Tracy was scheduled to teach three classes during the upcoming Spring semester. Alternative instructors will be assigned to teach those classes."
What did James teach? Pray tell.
Tracy "teaches courses examining the relationship between commercial and alternative news media and socio-political issues and events," according to Florida Atlantic's website, with expertise in "media history and analysis, political economy of communication."

To pass gun control legislation, huh Jimbo? Huh. Jimbo's shootin' with some blanks there, seems to me, it does.
Let's see what other nuggets we have here:

It occurs to me that Americans are a weird people.
