Misleading Headline from AP and MSNBC

Get a load of this article from AP that appears on MSNBC's website. The headline makes it look as if Professor Karla Holloway has quit her job:


Duke professor quits over students' return
English professor Holloway says 2 suspects shouldn't have been readmitted

But then in the text of the article we find out what really happened:

A Duke University professor resigned from her committee assignments, saying she was upset by the administration's decision to invite two lacrosse players accused of sexual assault back to campus. (italics mine)

Hey you stupid idiots at AP, Holloway didn't quit her job. She quit her COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS. Virtually every professor at every college and university has committee assignments, most of which require little or no effort. She is still working at Duke, still teaching and doing research and still making false accusations against students who are framed for a crime they didn't commit. And then the article adds this:

Holloway was one of 88 faculty members at Duke who endorsed an ad last April in the campus newspaper that included anonymous quotes from students discussing racism and sexual assault on Duke's campus. She said she receives angry, racist e-mails attacking her for being among the school's critics.

Oh really, Karla? Where are these racist emails and who sent them? The only racist is you.
