Two others were taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center: a 40-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman. A 22-year-old man was dropped off at Metro South Medical Center in Blue Island and his condition had stabilized. The man and woman at Christ hospital were both in serious condition, police said.

UPenn Professor Who Called God A \”White Racist\” Brags: \”I Have Tenure. I Can’t Get Fired\”…

Anthea Butler, the Ivy League religious studies professor who called God a white racist after the Trayvon Martin verdict last week, doubled down on her statement and denounced the conservative media outlets that criticized her.

Butler also expressed gratitude to her tenure status at UPenn, which protects her from being fired no matter how many controversial statements she makes.
