A University of Kansas journalism professor who tweeted after the Washington Navy Yard shooting that he hoped the next victims of a mass murderer would be children of NRA members has been placed on administrative leave, several days after making these comments:

Many are calling his comments “controversial.” Since when is it merely “controversial” to express a hope for children to be shot?
==>MT @HeyTammyBruce Actually @6NewsLawrence, it was more than "controversial," he wished kids to be murdered. Stop w euphemism. @NRANews

We’ll now wait and see if this is one of those “just long enough until the dust settles” kind of administrative leaves. And is it really a “punishment”?

@HeyTammyBruce @6NewsLawrence Great! Another one getting a paid "vacation". That'll teach him!
