“There are going to be some males in our society who will refuse to vote for a potential female president because they don’t think females are smart enough to be president,” Phillip Lowcock said. “We could line all those guys up and shoot them. They clearly don’t understand the way the world works.”

The University of Kansas issued a statement.

“The instructor offers his sincerest apologies and deeply regrets the situation,” the statement read. “His intent was to emphasize his advocacy for women’s rights and equality, and he recognizes he did a very poor job of doing so. The university has an established process for situations like this and will follow that process.”

Republican senators from Kansas reacted on X.

“This guy shouldn’t be within 100 yards of a university and I am calling for his swift termination,” Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., said.

“There should never be a call for violence anytime or anywhere in the classroom,” Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., said. “We must cool down the political rhetoric and be respectful and civil to each other, and that is especially true for someone charged with teaching our young people.”
