Essex County College Caught Lying about Teacher Firing

[After FIRE lawsuit, Essex County College finally turns over documents about firing of Black Lives Matter advocate](https://www.thefire.org/after-fire-lawsuit-essex-county-college-finally-turns-over-documents-about-firing-of-black-lives-matter-advocate/)

Essex County College’s internal records do not support its leadership’s claims that it was “immediately inundated” with “feedback from students, faculty and prospective students and their families expressing frustration, concern and even fear” about Durden’s views. To the contrary, the records indicate that administrators had already decided to take action before any member of the public contacted them. And, for the first 13 days after Durden’s appearance, only one person contacted the college to complain.

(equally interesting: the almost invariably right-wing FIRE taking up a progressive/left cause (!))
