Perhaps it's just me, but I'd expect an aspiring professor (she's an assistant professor) would conduct herself with more dignity than she demonstrated in this article. Not to mention her exploitation of "the full range of [her] first amendment entitlements;" and I thought I was pretentious...
In modern academia this sort of conduct is likely viewed as an asset rather than a liability. Many departments are almost entirely politicized at this point, especially post-Trump. Younger American academia is full of people, who if by some extreme misfortune, ever did manage to come to power would begin by guillotining a quarter of the country.
