You all may laugh, but the prof may indeed have protection under the “American’s With No Abilities” Act signed into law by President Clinton in 1998. http://hypocrisytoday.com/noabilit.htm.

This is, of course, satire published by a parody newspaper called The Onion. Since some of you apparently feel it is incumbent upon you to make everything a left/right issue (for God sake can we please grow past this?), please note that the tragic lack of a sense of humor sent a number of angry righties to their flaming keyboards to denounce Clinton, leftism, progressivism and all that is–by their self-righteous and humorless standard–unholy, in response to this clearly fictitious story. I think many of them still believe there is an actual law in place to protect American’s with no abilities (which, given their inability to distinguish fact from fiction, you’d think they’d appreciate). What we need are laws to protect those with a disabling lack of perspective, so they can be properly classified and relegated to some harmless position in society. From that standpoint, this egotistical prof is far from alone. What a maroon. One can only hope she bankrupts herself in this pursuit.
