Melissa Click, a communications professor at the University of Missouri, apologized last November after being caught on video confronting journalists and seeking “muscle” to help maintain a media-free “safe space.”

As a result of Click’s caught-on-tape bullying, she’s going to face what might be considered a legal microaggression:

FYI, under Missouri law, you can basically get charged with misdemeanor third-degree assault for unwanted touching.

The Mizzou journalism faculty voted to remove her courtesy title, but as of now Click still remains employed by the university.
Love this headline so much.

@mattdpearce @BillisKing That's odd. I thought liberals welcomed diversity of opinion.
