Self proclaimed “Talk Show Host, Pop-Culture Commentator, and Content Creator,” Lisa Durden taught a semester at Essex County College. She was all set to teach more until contacted on June 8th by the administration and told to turn in her grade book. This stunning reversal of fortune came just days after her appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show to discuss Black Lives Matter’s black only Memorial Day party.
Now she’s stirring up all kinds of controversy declaring that her free speech rights have been “trampled” and trying to force the school to rehire her.

Adjunct professors are the cannon fodder of the academic world with no standing and no protections. Hardly paid, they are contracted by the semester, so they’re easy to dismiss and often done so by most schools.
She’s insane and angry.
The greater travesty here is that people were actually paying money for that racist kook to “educate” their children.
There are plenty of HBCU’s she can apply to.
Too many people on both sides seem to believe Rights live in a vacuum, where responsibilities should never dare to tread.
They’re wrong, of course.
She’ll be a fry cook at Church’s Chicken, soon, spitting on white people’s food.
Well, Boo, Ho, Ho, indeed! Where’s my teeny-tiny violin?
New sheriff’s in town. America is tired of that BLM crap. Assimilate or leave. What else am I missing?
She thought her appearance on Tucker’s show would lead to a nice tenured and cushy job somewhere. WRONG.
How refreshing.
@Hambone: And, according to the Peter Principle, she will have risen to her uppermost level of incompetency
“She’s insane and angry”
What’s she angry about?
She took full advantage of a right that allowed her to make a fool of herself. Now she shows her ignorance complaining about it. Why not blame the place where you got your diploma from for not educating you about rights and responsibilities?
Its a personnel issue. We have only Durden’s version and she and her lawyers (but apparently not the reporter) know full well that the College is restricted from commenting on it.
Black and a woman? of course she is angry
(By the way I have never heard of an angry black person, EVER)
When Affirmative Action eventually ends, as all free rides do, there is an entire population of beneficiaries like Durden who will be abruptly and permanently displaced. With no Plan B.
Most will sink down to skid row. Dealing drugs, shoplifting and prostitution are in the futures of a lot of folks, right now, who think their Affirmative Action middle class lifestyle is guaranteed for eternity.
And if the Angry Africans succeed in undermining and overthrowing evil white AmeriKKKa, and the Chicoms or Putin take over, the Angry Africans will be the first to be eliminated, by the millions, as Undesirables.
Too bad about the feebleminded Left. Durden’s grandmother might have been a nice American citizen.
Her Memorial Day/Decoration Day appropriation pisses me off…
Willy.
LOL, like you would go to one of her parties anyway.
She’s got her own show on YouTube to fall back on.
“Content Creator”.
More like “Malcontent.”
She’s a teacher and a racist. The two cannot co-exist when the minds of young adults are at stake. She’ll end up on some speaking circuit getting paid by left wing rich people trying to assuage their guilt for slavery that took place hundreds of years before they were born but because of teachers like Durden who brainwashed them into accepting responsibility. Or maybe she can get a job at Evergreen College.
“I find it shocking that an African-American woman would be so disrespected at her place of employment for merely exercising her First Amendment right to free speech”
CAN WE HAVE A SLO-MO OF THAT LAST PLAY?
DURDEN: “What I say to that is boo-hoo-hoo, you white people are angry because you couldn’t use your ‘white privilege’ card to get invited to the Black Lives Matter’s all-black Memorial Day celebration! Wow!”
Looks like you’re getting EXACTLY the “respect” you show Whites, you black, trash-mouthed b!tch.
I watched the clip. What an obnoxious, pretentious, dumb racist. I’d like to see her exiled to Africa. Maybe then would she appreciate this country.
What a mouthy bitch!
It just occurred to me, that right thinking individuals need to start auditing classes at the local universities and call out bullshit whenever a leftist professor starts the indoctrination in the classrooms. Just think; thousands and thousands of conservatives nation wide sitting in during lectures at these mush factories. That is the only way I can think of to expel these festering A-hole professors.
Take this for an example- https://youtu.be/YlVDGmjz7eM
Time for all Federal agencies to start aggressively promoting Liberia as paradise on earth.
The Promised Land.
“Project Homecoming.”
Perfect climate. Black rule. No white oppression. No Capitalist Patriarchy. A giant Safe Space with puppies and every drug is legal.
Free airfare.
Think of the long term savings.
Black “intellectuals” make blacks look really stupid, them and 75% of other blacks.
She’s angry, black, stupid, and dangerous, just like Johnny Eric Williams and so many other affirmative action “educators” in our stinking, sinking education system. There is more than one swamp to be drained.
Having been in both HR and higher ed, my strong suspicion is that the learned professor is not telling the full story and is using the Fox interview as a dodge to blur the facts. Instructors are removed from active classes only under dire situations such as falsifying records, not holding classes, violating academic policies, disrupting the classroom, or failing to control the classroom. Firing would not be based on a Dean’s impulsive reaction to a TV show. Perhaps she was supposed to be teaching on the night when she appeared on Fox?
@Nunya Her semester hadn’t started yet, so they weren’t pulling her out of any on going courses. Being an adjunct she has no grounds for any complaint, they have no protections and teach at the whim of the department. They can schedule, cancel change instructors as they please and the adjuncts have to take it or leave it. Many that try to make a career of it have to teach multiple schools and shuttle between jobs. Its a tough way to make a buck, but some people just love to teach.
She has a puncheable mouth! Not sure if that is a saying but it fits here.
She was hired in January, therefore she was a probationary employee. Typically per union contracts, probationary employees may be fired without cause at any time during that period (usually one year). If the employer were to give any reason for the termination, it would expose the college to a lawsuit for wrongful termination. If the administration had good legal counsel, everyone will keep their mouths shut.
Is she that woman that sits in a tub filled with rice krispies and eats it?
for some reason it didn’t list me as me.?
Lisa Durden went on a ridiculous racist rant and supports a racist, terrorist organization like Black Lives Matter, which encourages the killing of cops and defiance of law and order. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xNxoeqf0Ws
