Florida Atlantic University

A disgraced former professor from the Florida Atlantic University is suing the university after they fired him for telling students that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting “was fake”. James Tracy claims his right to free speech was violated by the university, after they sacked him for promoting the Sandy Hook hoax theory. Tracy, an associate professor, filed the lawsuit on Monday, challenging the university’s “conflict of interest/outside activities” policy.

A professor who claimed that the Sandy Hook massacre was a staged conspiracy has been fired from his job at Florida Atlantic University (FAU). The professor claims that the school shooting which occurred in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14, 2012, was a hoax. He was fired for a technicality in his contract, and for not supplying details of his interests in certain internet blogs, or activities not in line with FAU policies. Sun Sentinel reports: The university sent a letter Tuesday to James Tracy, a tenured associate professor of communications, announcing the action.
