PJ Media political reporter and commentator Michelle Fields appeared Saturday on Fox News’ “Cashin’ In,” and while we assume most viewers enjoyed her input, a former professor declared that his erstwhile student had gone “full retard.”
I don't think my former Professor Russell Burgos from @pepperdine liked my appearance today on #cashinin. pic.twitter.com/IecALleags

That’s not the sort of insensitive, non-PC language we’ve become used to hearing from leftist university professors. Oh wait, it is.
@MichelleFields Yikes, as a college professor I hang my head in shame for what he said as a professor.
— Frank Ferrara (@FJFerrara) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine "Retard"?! Well that's rather insensitive. Your old professor is a hypocritical cuntbag*.
*typical liberal
— Iößęph (@joseph12xu) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields can't believe a professor would say something like that abt a former student. He should be ashamed.
— Clarke Walker (@SeeLarke) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields I'd be more insulted that he called you 'garden-variety.' You are hardly that.
— Bill Price (@fireballil) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine What the hell kind of prof says this in a public forum? His head should be hung in shame all right – pathetic.

polisci (international relations) prof RT @bitingtea: @MichelleFields what does he teach at @pepperdine – Twitter trolling?
— Michelle Fields (@MichelleFields) August 9, 2014
@MichelleFields @pepperdine Pathetic. And at one time, professors took pride in turning out alum who thought critically & independently.

@MichelleFields Tolerant! @pepperdine, a Christian school where students have 2 attend spiritual events must be proud of "retard" language.

@MichelleFields @pepperdine what a great representation of the university. A former professor who continually harasses a successful alumnus.

— Yohanes Sulaiman (@YohanesSulaiman) August 10, 2014
@MichelleFields @jamestaranto @pepperdine I am very concerned that @pepperdine condones such shocking attacks by faculty. "Full Retard"?!
— crucker (@crucker) August 10, 2014

Update:
In an email to Twitchy and in a series of tweets posted last night, Professor Burgos denied he was the person who accused Michelle Fields of going “full retard.” Please see this post for more information.
