As I first observed more than five years ago…

…philosopher Rachel McKinnon (Charleston) is unhinged, and everything since has served to confirm that, including the ugliness noted here.  However, it is not the job of the College of Charleston to police her public statements.  Her public speech, albeit tasteless and often worse, is not unlawful, and is none of the College's business.

UPDATE:  A reader points out that the other toxic "Rachel McK" on philosophy twitter–philosopher Rachel McKinney (Suffolk)–has actually "deleted her account" (as the Twitter joke goes).  We may only hope the even more noxious Rachel McK (above) follows suit, for her sake and ours.
