They fired him, he's firing back: An interview with Professor Sam Joeckel

Footnotes with Jemar Tisby

Professor Samuel Joeckel has been teaching a unit on racial justice at Palm Beach Atlantic University for twelve years. He has been a faculty member at the school for 20 years. All of that came to an abrupt end when administrators at the school fired him for teaching about racial justice. This is the first interview Professor Sam gave after his dismissal. We talk about his initial reactions to the news, how his students have responded, and what all of this is teaching him about God and faith. Please support Professor Sam by leaving him encouraging messages, by contributing to his financial support, and by sharing this interview with as many people as possible. Venmo: @SamJoeckel We put as much pressure as we can on the university so they can be held accountable for their cowardice. For more information on the situation see here: 1.
